Situated Cognition

Situated cognition is the idea that our thinking and understanding are deeply connected to the context in which they occur. This means that our environment, social interactions, and physical experiences shape our knowledge and how we learn. It relates to concepts like the Extended Mind, which suggests that tools and surroundings contribute to our cognitive processes, and Embodied Cognition, which emphasizes the role of our body in shaping our thoughts. Overall, situated cognition highlights the inseparable link between our minds, bodies, and the world around us in understanding and learning.
