Embodied cognition is the Philosophical Theory that many features of cognition, whether human or otherwise, are shaped by aspects of the entire body of the organism. the features of cognition include high level mental constructs (such as concepts and categories) and performance on various cognitive tasks (such as reasoning or judgment). the aspects of the body include the motor system, the perceptual system, bodily interactions with the environment (situatedness), and the assumptions about the world that are built into the structure of the organism.

The embodied mind Thesis challenges other Theories, such as cognitivism, computationalism, and Cartesian dualism.[1][2] It is closely related to the extended mind Thesis, situated cognition, and enactivism. the modern version depends on insights drawn from recent research in psychology, linguistics, [[cognitive Science, dynamical systems, artificial intelligence, robotics, animal cognition, plant cognition and neurobiology.
