Another Take on Embodied Cognition

Embodied cognition as previously stated before has no clear definition, but the approach to defining it is quite different from Goldinger's approach. In this article embodied cognition is broken down into two forms either mild or radical. Mild embodiment believes that all cognitive experiences are due to sensory and motor context of their environment. Radical embodiment looks at cognition as an extension of the body and the environment. For example, based on the radical hypothesis they believe that the brain is not the only cognitive resource at our disposal, our interactions with the environment and our perceptions are as well. Researchers have argued the limitations of embodied cognition and one of them is that the terms that describe embodied cognition is vague and hard to use from a scientific standpoint.
