Embodied Cognition is a theory in psychology and cognitive science that suggests our thoughts and understanding are deeply connected to our physical experiences and actions. It posits that the mind is not separate from the body; instead, our bodily interactions with the environment shape our cognitive processes. For example, gestures we make while speaking can influence how we think about a topic. This approach contrasts with traditional views that see the mind as a detached entity. Embodied Cognition emphasizes that perception, action, and cognition are intertwined, meaning that our physical movements and sensory experiences play a crucial role in how we learn and understand the world around us.
