PSY 203 - Embodied Cognition

Description
Embodied Cognition studies mind as the dynamic, adaptive, meaning-creating activity of bodies in environments. Surveying the foundations of this framework (e.g. ecological psychology, robotics, phenomenology, cognitive linguistics, and social interaction), we will explore the entangled evolutionary histories of agents, environments, and their transactions (including language). Through activities and discussions we will investigate how bodies being bodies together give rise to value, reasoning, action, and experience. Previously PSY 312.
