proposed assessment model builds upon the Gibson’s Ecological Psychology and Situated Cognition.

Playfulness (doable, goal-oriented action): Assessment should create a play-full activity in the realistic context. Drawing from Gibson’s Ecological Psychology, human, as a detector, perceive and act with the specific goal in the environment at all times. So our true…

Embodied cognition is the possibility of unification of neural networks in our brain and direct interaction with the physical world. The body contains, regulates, and shapes the nature of mental activity. Arthur Glenberg argues that our brains guide the body for interacting with the social world (1).

More so, people’s behaviors are articulated by what they perceive and what is stored in their memories. It is with no reasonable doubt that situated cognition provides adequate space for adaptive actions. The individual 's’…

determines the extent and rate of development. In some cultures where internal states or discourses are not emphasized, individuals may take longer to generate mind reading abilities.
