Specialty section: This article was submitted to Cognition, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology
Embodied cognition has been demonstrated across a wide range of topics, from babies (e.g., Smith and Gasser, 2005) to elderly adults (e.g., Vallet et al, 2013a), from normal cognition to neuropsychology (e.g., Vallet et al, 2013b) as well as in emotion (e.g., Vermeulen et al, 2007), and in neuroscience as a whole (e.g., Pulvermüller, 2013)
Their article highlights the crucial role of sensorimotor simulation across several cognitive activities and how the interaction between the current situation and the simulation of past sensorimotor states mediates the emergence of adaptive behavior
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Cognition, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology. Dynamics of Sensorimotor Interactions in Embodied Cognition The concept of incorporating the current situation and the body state within cognitive processes, referred to as embodiment, has revolutionized cognitive research (Glenberg et al, 2013).
