A Moderate Approach to Embodied Cognitive Science

There are many research programs in cognitive science that urge a re-orientation under the banner of "embodied cognition." Most of these programs promote a rather radical alternative to "standard" or "classical" cognitivism (for a recent review, see Shapiro 2011). Despite the common label, the programs are very heterogeneous, and I shall make no attempt here to survey them or offer any taxonomy...

Radical Embodied Cognitive Science

Embodied cognitive science

The paper provides an introduction to the field of embodied cognitive science from a biological and behavioural perspective. We show how the field of neuro-ethology can help transform cognitive science from a representational to an embodied perspective. The transformation is necessary to introduce a bottom-up approach to understanding cognition in order to resolve some fundamental problems with...

An embodied cognitive science?

The last ten years have seen an increasing interest, within cognitive science, in issues concerning the physical body, the local environment, and the complex interplay between neural systems and the wider world in which they function. Yet many unanswered questions remain, and the shape of a genuinely physically embodied, environmentally embedded science of the mind is still unclear. In this art...
