Sensorimotor Contingencies

Sensorimotor contingencies refer to the ways our body interacts with the environment, influencing our perceptions and actions. In the context of embodied cognition, this concept suggests that our understanding of the world is shaped by our physical experiences and sensory feedback. For instance, when we touch something, the sensations we receive help us learn about that object's properties. Essentially, our motor actions and sensory experiences are interconnected, informing how we think and perceive, revealing that cognition is not just a mental process but is deeply rooted in our embodied experiences.
