基于具身认知的老年人益智玩具产品设计研究

Research on the Design of Educational Toys for the Elderly Based on Embodied Cognition

摘要: 随着人口老龄化加剧，老年人的认知衰退问题日益凸显，如何通过产品设计提升其认知功能成为重要课题。具身认知理论强调身体与环境互动对认知的促进作用，为老年人益智玩具产品设计提供了新的思路。本文基于具身认知理论，分析了当前老年人益智玩具产品设计的现状与不足，提出了多感官刺激、身体互动与简单易操作等设计原则。旨在为未来老年人益智玩具产品设计提供理论支持与实践参考。

Abstract: With the increasing aging population, the cognitive decline among the elderly has become a pressing issue. Designing products to enhance their cognitive abilities is now a significant challenge. Embodied cognition theory, which emphasizes the role of bodily interaction with the environment in promoting cognition, provides new insights for the design of cognitive toys for the elderly. Based on this theory, this paper analyzes the current status and shortcomings of elderly toy design, proposing design principles such as multi-sensory stimulation, bodily interaction, and ease of operation aiming to offer theoretical and practical references for future cognitive product development for the elderly.
