Zusatztext "This book will be of interest to anyone working in the emerging field of embodied cognition or allied fields of ecological psychology and situated robotics. Traditionally trained cognitive psychologists should read it to let the embodied cognition movement challenge the default assumption that the brain is a computational device and instead try to view it asa control system for the body. The chapters are well written and interesting...they are suitable mainly for professionals! graduate students! and advanced undergraduates."- William A. Adams! PsycCRITIQUES Zusammenfassung Reports on the 2006 Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, which brought together the contributions to these issues from a group of researchers who span perspectives of behavioral science, neuroscience, developmental psychology and computation.
