Embodied Cognition - grounded and linguistic bodies
'Embodied Cognition' introduces the contemporary embodied cognition perspective, including 'grounded' cognition, with a focus on implications for learning and education. The course traverses the idea of direct experiences as a substantial part of every learning experience. This claim is central to the field ‘Grounded cognition’ (GC), an overall term for new cognitive and neuroscience theories that emphasise situated and bodily cognition (e.g. Shapiro, 2011). According to the CG approach immediate perception of our physical and social surroundings shapes behaviours and actions as well as the co-occurring linguistic knowledge (meaning-making activity) about the situation.
