Abstract

The work aims to analyze the positive effects of hand puppet science animation on children's cognitive abilities, behavioral performance, and interest enhancement from the perspective of embodied cognition theory, and construct a mapping between the constituent elements of hand puppet animation in popular science education and children's cognitive acceptance abilities to validate the effectiveness of embodied cognition theory in hand puppet animation in children's popular science education. By analyzing the characteristics of hand puppets and the current visual design status of popular science animation and combining with the embodied cognition theory, the design ideas for children's popular science animation were provided. Eye-tracking technology was used to explore the learning process of children watching popular science education videos. Firstly, based on the cognitive characteristics of children, the visual elements of popular science animation were analyzed and translated into design elements. Then, the subject, scene and role in the hand puppet animation were mapped to children's cognitive acceptance ability to provide a basis for the design. Finally, the eye movement data was used to evaluate children's reactions to puppet animation, and to explore how it guided attention, organized information and promoted information integration. By comparing the visual and interactive effects of the hand puppet popular science cartoon "Uncle Fogg - Science Adventure" with the traditional popular science animation, and applying the system availability scale (SUS), combined with the control test results of children's behavior and interaction effects, the effectiveness of hand puppet popular science education is verified.
