Radical embodied cognition

Radical embodied cognition is a theory suggesting that our thinking and understanding are deeply connected to our physical experiences and interactions with the world. Instead of viewing the mind as separate from the body, this approach emphasizes that our thoughts are shaped by our bodily sensations, movements, and the context of our environment. This means that cognition is not just something happening in our brains, but is influenced by the way we act, feel, and perceive the world around us, highlighting the importance of bodily experiences in shaping our thoughts and knowledge.
