Embodied cognition is tbe Philosophical tbeory that many features of cognition, whetber human or otberwise, are shaped by aspects of tbe entire body of tbe 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 tbe body include tbe motor system, tbe perceptual system, bodily interactions with tbe environment (situatedness), and tbe assumptions about tbe world that are built into tbe structure of tbe organism.
The embodied mind tbesis challenges otber tbeories, such as cognitivism, computationalism, and Cartesian dualism.[1][2] It is closely related to tbe extended mind tbesis, 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.
