Grounding Context in Embodied Cognitive Robotics

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
Biological agents are context-dependent systems that exhibit behavioral flexibility. The internal and external information agents process, their actions, and emotions are all grounded in the context within which they are situated. However, in the field of cognitive robotics, the concept of context is far from being clear with most studies making little

Pleasure or Health? The Role of Mental Simulation in Desire and Food Choices

Foods, 2020
Many times, desire possesses us and impedes us from making healthier food choices. From a grounded cognition perspective, we investigated the role of two types of mental simulation (process and outcome) in desire and food choice to understand the ...

Routes to Embodiment

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Research on embodiment is rich in impressive demonstrations but somewhat poor in comprehensive explanations. Although some moderators and driving mechanisms have been identified, a comprehensive conceptual account of how bodily states or dynamics ...

God in body and space: Investigating the sensorimotor grounding of abstract concepts

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
concepts are defined as concepts that cannot be experienced directly through the sensorimotor modalities. Explaining our understanding of such concepts poses a challenge to neurocognitive models of knowledge.

Socially Extended Cognition and Shared Intentionality

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
The paper looks at the intersection of extended cognition and social cognition. The central claim is that the mechanisms of shared intentionality can equally be considered as coupling mechanisms of cognitive extension into the social domain.

Grounding cognition: heterarchical control mechanisms in biology [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
We advance an account that grounds cognition, specifically decision-making, in an activity all organisms as autonomous systems must perform to keep themselves viable—controlling their production mechanisms. Production mechanisms, as we characterize them, perform activities such as procuring resources from their environment, putting these resources to ...

Electrophysiological potentials reveal cortical mechanisms for mental imagery, mental simulation, and grounded (embodied) cognition

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
Grounded cognition theory proposes that cognition, including meaning, is grounded in sensorimotor processing. The mechanism for grounding cognition is mental simulation, which is a type of mental imagery that re-enacts modal processing.

Magnitude or Multitude – What Counts?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Recent studies revealed an association of low or high numbers (e.g., 1 vs. 9) and word semantics referring to entities typically found in upper or lower space (e.g., roof vs. root) indicating overlapping spatial representations.

Comprehension of Action Negation Involves Inhibitory Simulation

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Previous research suggests that action language is comprehended by activating the motor system. We report a study, investigating a critical question in this research field: Do negative sentences activate the motor system?
