Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of the key questions in cognitive psychology is how people represent knowledge about concepts such as football or love. Some researchers have proposed that concepts are represented in human memory by the sensorimotor systems that underlie interaction with the outside world. These theories represent developments in cognitive science to view cognition no longer in terms of abstract information processing, but in terms of perception and action. In other words, cognition is grounded in embodied experiences. Studies show that sensory perception and motor actions support understanding of words and object concepts. Moreover, even understanding of abstract and emotion concepts can be shown to rely on more concrete, embodied experiences. Finally, language itself can be shown to be grounded in sensorimotor processes. This book brings together theoretical arguments and empirical evidence from several key researchers in this field to support this framework. Having established that memory and language are embodied rather than amodal, researchers are starting to focus on developing more detailed theories of exactly how perception and action are involved in memory, language and thought. The purpose of this book is to bring together views from various experts on these topics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
