Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Embodied Cognition
  • Environmental Psychology

Background:

  • Growing interest in the physical body, local environment, and neural systems' interaction with the world.
  • Unanswered questions persist regarding a truly embodied and embedded science of the mind.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the nature and scope of embodied and embedded approaches in cognitive science.
  • To differentiate between 'simple' and 'radical' appeals to embodiment.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of embodiment in cognitive science.
  • Distinguishing between two types of embodiment appeals: constraining versus transformative.

Main Results:

  • Identified 'simple' embodiment appeals where bodily/environmental factors constrain existing cognitive models.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Identified 'radical' embodiment appeals aiming to transform cognitive science's subject matter and framework.

    • Conclusions:

    • The distinction highlights key debates in developing an embodied and environmentally embedded science of the mind.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the implications of radical embodiment for cognitive science theory and practice.
