Do dogs preferentially encode the identity of the target object or the location of others’ actions? by Lonardo, L, Völter, CJ, Hepach, R, Lamm, C, Huber, L

“…We conclude that dogs, lacking motor experience with the observed actions of grasping or kicking performed by a human or inanimate agent, might interpret such actions as directed toward a specific location rather than a specific object. …”

Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…We further document a series of emerging challenges, including the children’s unwillingness to engage or lack of adeptness with software, a tension between aesthetics and construction, creativity limited by samples of previous e-textile projects, and the difficulty in grasping the materiality of e-textiles. We propose that some direct instruction and facilitation is not incompatible with the making ethos; the approach can help address these challenges, allowing young children to benefit from their participation in short-duration e-textile workshops.…”
