Mark P. Johnson

Mark P. Johnson is a researcher and professor known for his work in cognitive science and developmental psychology. He studies how humans, especially infants, learn about the world through their senses and actions, emphasizing the importance of embodied experience—how our bodies and interactions shape our understanding. His research challenges traditional views by highlighting that knowledge isn’t just stored in the brain but arises through active physical engagement with our surroundings. Johnson’s insights help us better understand how perception, action, and learning are interconnected in human development and cognition.
