Strong embodiment
Abstract
Strong embodied cognition rethinks what cognition looks like. It gets rid of mental representations and other internal entities. As a result, it locates information for cognition in the world around us. We are sensitive and respond to that externally located information as part of thinking and acting. As a result, the divisions between perception, cognition, and action become fuzzy.
