Embodied cognition is a hot topic in both cognitive science and AI, despite the fact that there still is relatively little consensus regarding what exactly constitutes 'embodiment'. While most embodied AI and cognitive robotics research views the body as the physical/sensorimotor interface that allows to ground computational cognitive processes in sensorimotor interactions with the environment,...

Abstract Cognitive stereotypes with regard to gender are prevalent, especially spatial cognition. However, literature suggests that age, rather than has more impact on objective performance. The aim of this study was create a detailed picture the extent and direction held in general population. Individual differences terms age gender, as well group identification were studied relation held. In ...

Abstract Individuals adapt to their environments by scheduling cognitive processing capacities selectively the points in time where they are most likely required. This effect is known as time-based expectancy (TBE) and has been demonstrated for several capacities, like perceptual attention, task set activation, or response preparation. However, it argued that self-related cognition (i.e., of in...

a r t i c l e i n f o Identity research argues for enhancing students' current and future positive academic self-concepts to strengthen educational success. However, multiple factors from youths' home and school ecologies, as well as structural disadvantage , influence this relationship. Using the data from the Beyond High School Study (N = 9658), this analysis examines the role of academic sel...

social cognition is defined as the capacity to generate, perceive and interpret and responses to the dispositions, intentions and behaviors of other people. it includes different specific cognitive processes that underlie social interactions. four domains of social cognition are named theory of mind (also known as mentalizing), emotion recognition, social perception and attributional style. anx...

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...
