Embodied embedded cognition
open-in-new
<p>Embodied embedded cognition (EEC) is a <a href="/facts/Philosophy/zAH5PVD6">philosophical</a> theoretical position in <a href="/facts/Cognitive_science/8qoggl7r">cognitive science</a>, closely related to <a href="/facts/Situated_cognition/ug0JlI77">situated cognition</a>, <a href="/facts/Embodied_cognition/zgewISTW">embodied cognition</a>, <a href="/facts/Embodied_cognitive_science/Iet5Ct6z">embodied cognitive science</a> and <a href="/facts/Dynamical_systems_theory/LM6aDhV0">dynamical systems theory</a>. The theory states that intelligent <a href="/facts/Behaviour/0Y1VqmVX">behaviour</a> emerges from the interplay between <a href="/facts/Brain/Xo5ABfXl">brain</a>, body and world. The world is not just the 'play-ground' on which the brain is acting. Rather, brain, body and world are equally important factors in the explanation of how particular intelligent behaviours come about in practice. </p>
