If cognition is distributed as well as embodied, then explanation in cognitive science must often highlight more or less transient extended systems spanning embodied brains, social networks or resources and key parts of the natural and the cultural world. These key parts of material culture are not simply cues which trigger the truly cognitive apparatus inside the head but instead form ‘‘a cont...

We propose a first step in the development of an integrated theory of the emergence of distributed cognition/extended mind. Distributed cognition is seen as the confluence of collective intelligence and “situatedness”, or the extension of cognitive processes into the physical environment. The framework is based on five fundamental assumptions: 1) groups of agents self-organize to form a differe...

This paper deals with the relationship between the embodied cognition paradigm and two sets of its implications: its implications for the ontology of selves, and its implications for the nature and extent of phenomenal consciousness. There has been a recent wave of interest within cognitive science in the paradigm variously called ‘embodied,’ ‘extended,’ ‘situated’ or ‘distributed’ cognition. A...

PURPOSE This single-arm, open-label study aimed to explore the effects of extended-release paliperidone on social and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS Paliperidone extended-release (flexible dose ranging from 3 to 12 mg/day orally) was administered for 24 weeks in patients with schizophrenia. Patient function was assessed using the personal and social performance sca...

in view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. the dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. in recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. the challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...

1 This is an extended version of the Opinion paper " The theory of event coding (TEC) as embodied-cognition framework " submitted to Frontiers in Cognition. 2 As common in the more lively phases of scientific disciplines, the key concept of this book and of this chapter—embodied cognition—is not very well defined. Wilson (2002) has identified no less than six different meanings the concept has ...

dual coding theory 2 Dual Coding Theory (DCT) is an established theory of general cognition that has been directly applied to literacy. This theory was originally developed to account for verbal and nonverbal influences on memory, but it has been extended to many other areas of cognition through a systematic program of research over many years (Paivio, 1971, 1986, 1991). It has been extended to...
