What is embodied about cognition?

The Explanation of effectiveness of student's lived experience in the architectural training process

Abstract: Architecture as a built environment has an important role in the quality of experience. Architecture experience is one of the educational strategies for knowing architecture. In some educational approaches, experience means observation, while based on the embodied cognition, environment experience is more than an observation. According to this approach, lived experience is deepest tha...

Embodied AI as Science: Models of Embodied Cognition, Embodied Models of Cognition, or Both?

This paper discusses the identity of embodied AI, i.e. it asks the question exactly what it is that makes AI research embodied. From an engineering perspective, it is fairly clear that embodied AI is about robotic, i.e. physically embodied systems. From the scientific perspective of AI as building models of natural cognition or intelligence, however, things are less clear. On the one hand embod...

The burden of embodied cognition.

The thesis of embodied cognition has developed as an alternative to the view that cognition is mediated, at least in part, by symbolic representations. A useful testing ground for the embodied cognition hypothesis is the representation of concepts. An embodied view of concept representation argues that concepts are represented in a modality-specific format. I argue that questions about represen...

Dancing about music , rather than talking about ( the musical mind ’ s ) architecture : a review of Marc Leman ’ s Embodied Music Cognition and Mediation Technology

Leman’s latest book is a refreshing treatment for the traditional (by which I mean: disembodied) cognitive science of music. What is more, the book serves as a starting point of an almost natural (given the recent variety of empirical data from empirical musicology and the studies on musical gestures, musical movement and the biomechanics of the body) application of the paradigm of embodied cog...
