None:
Embodiment research spans psychology, neuroscience, education, artificial intelligence, and public health, yet overlapping labels and shifting meanings slow cumulative progress. We propose clear definitions, concise labels, and consistent terminology to strengthen theory-building, evidence synthesis, and translation to practice. We call for a white-paper-style consensus process involving cross-disciplinary working groups to develop a shared living glossary of core embodiment terminology that makes overlap and divergence explicit without enforcing theoretical uniformity.
