چکیده
Recent research from a large number of fields has recently come together under the rubric of embodied cognitive science. Embodied cognitive science attempts to show specific ways in which the body shapes and constrains thought. I enumerate the standard variety of usages that the term “embodiment” currently receives in cognitive science and contrast notions of embodiment and experientialism at a variety of levels of investigation. The purpose is to develop a broad-based theoretic framework for embodiment which can serve as a bridge between different fields. I introduce the theoretic framework using examples that trace related research issues such as mental imagery, mental rotation, spatial language and conceptual metaphor across several levels of investigation. As a survey piece, this chapter covers numerous different conceptualizations of the body ranging from the physiological and developmental to the mental and philosophical; theoretically, it focuses on questions of whether and how all these different conceptualizations can form a cohesive research program.
