Towards an automated assessment for embodied cognition in children: the sailor step task

Published: 05 June 2019 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we present our preliminary data analysis towards an automated assessment system for the Sailor Step task. The Sailor Step task is an embodied cognition task designed to assess attention, working memory, response inhibition, rhythm and coordination in children. Children must remember instructions and coordinate their movements following visual cues presented during a themed video clip. Skeleton data were collected through the Kinect camera. This paper presents an overview of the assessment task, the data collection and annotation with a preliminary analysis towards an automated scoring system through motion capture analysis methods.
