On the need for Embodied and Dis-Embodied Cognition

This essay proposes and defends a pluralistic theory of conceptual embodiment. Our concepts are represented in at least two ways: (i) through sensorimotor simulations of our interactions with objects and events and (ii) through sensorimotor simulations of natural language processing. Linguistic representations are "dis-embodied" in the sense that they are dynamic and multimodal but, in contrast...

Embodied cognition , embodied regulation , and the Data Rate Theorem Rodrick

We explore implications of new results from control theory – the Data Rate Theorem – for theories of embodied cognition. A conceptual extension of the theorem can be applied to models of cognitive interaction with a complex dynamic environment, providing a spectrum of necessary conditions dynamic statistical models that should be useful in empirical studies. Using a large deviations argument, p...

Western culture has inherited a view of understanding as an intellectual cognitive operation of grasping of concepts and their relations. However, cognitive science research has shown that this received intellectualist conception is substantially out of touch with how humans actually make and experience meaning. The view emerging from the mind sciences recognizes that understanding is profoundl...
