🚨New Paper🚨

🔎 We evaluate embodied theories of (abstract) mental representations and find severe meta-theoretical issues

🦔 Our solution, the minimalist account, focuses only on simulation and metaphoric mapping

🚀 Benefits:
- Simple
- Few assumptions
- Rife for integration

Our newest pre-print: how does predictive processing account for higher level cognition?
What can grounded cognition help?
And how does this fit into life mind continuity?

Our recent paper in Psych. Bull. Review on simulation of physical laws in grounded cognition. Can concepts be grounded in physical invariants like gravity?

Predictive Processing and Conceptual spaces say yes: Embodied cognition should be expanded to physical laws
