Enactive Approach

The Enactive Approach is a way of understanding perception and cognition that emphasizes the active role of the body and environment. Instead of seeing the mind as a passive receiver of information, it views perception as a dynamic process involving ongoing interactions between an individual and their surroundings. Our senses and actions shape how we experience the world, meaning understanding comes from these ongoing, embodied engagements rather than just internal processes. This perspective highlights that knowledge is built through our active participation with our environment, emphasizing the close link between perception, action, and understanding.
