Interpretations of embodied cognition

نویسنده

چکیده

The concept of embodied cognition (EC) is not a settled one. A variety of theorists have attempted to outline different approaches and meanings related to this concept. They range from radical embodiment to minimal embodiment, and a number of positions in between. In addition, a variety of approaches to the study of cognition have been closely associated with the notion of embodiment – including enactive, embedded, and extended or distributed cognition approaches. Within these different perspectives there is no strong consensus on what weight to give to the concept of embodiment. Moreover, contrary to what some may think, not all EC approaches share a common opposition to the classical computational model of cognition. In this chapter I want to map out the landscape of these various senses of embodied cognition.

Is social cognition embodied?

Theories of embodied cognition abound in the literature, but it is often unclear how to understand them. We offer several interpretations of embodiment, the most interesting being the thesis that mental representations in bodily formats (B-formats) have an important role in cognition. Potential B-formats include motoric, somatosensory, affective and interoceptive formats. The literature on mirr...

The Explanation of effectiveness of student's lived experience in the architectural training process

Abstract: Architecture as a built environment has an important role in the quality of experience. Architecture experience is one of the educational strategies for knowing architecture. In some educational approaches, experience means observation, while based on the embodied cognition, environment experience is more than an observation. According to this approach, lived experience is deepest tha...

We are investigating conjectures central to research on embodied mathematical cognition. Specifically, we are carrying out an empirical study designed to evaluate the plausibility of theoretical models that argue for an embodied basis of mathematical learning and reasoning. Prior arguments for embodied mathematics either build on theoretical analyses of human reasoning (Barsalou, 1999; Goldin, ...
