How does COGNITION happen?

Cognition generally refers to thinking, perceiving, problem-solving, intelligence, and skills. But how is cognition created?

Cognition is based on 4 foundational properties. The 4 Es of cognition Cognition is Embedded Cognition is Embodied Cognition is Enacted Cognition is Extended

Cognition is Embedded: Cognition is meaningful when the external environment is involved.

Cognition is Embodied: Cognition is not limited to the brain, it exists across the body. And bodily changes alter cognition.

Cognition is Enacted: It’s a meaning-making process that interprets information from the senses and internally generated thoughts.

Cognition is Extended: It is directly associated with the tools we use.

Cognition is physical

Cognition is a connection between the body, the brain, the tools we create, and the environment we live in.

How does COGNITION happen?

By Cognition Today

Cognition generally refers to thinking, perceiving, problem-solving, intelligence, and skills. But how is cognition created?

Cognition is based on 4 foundational properties. The 4 Es of cognition Cognition is Embedded Cognition is Embodied Cognition is Enacted Cognition is Extended

Cognition is Embedded: Cognition is meaningful when the external environment is involved.

Thinking of cooking is cognitively easy when we have ingredients in front of us instead of imagining the ingredients. Involves culture, society, and the environment.

Cognition is Embodied: Cognition is not limited to the brain, it exists across the body. And bodily changes alter cognition.

Dancing well alters spatial reasoning. Involves the body. Learning body manipulation improves spatial cognition.

Cognition is Enacted: It’s a meaning-making process that interprets information from the senses and internally generated thoughts.

Our brain doesn’t receive an image of our food on the table. We interpret an interaction with food using our senses and movement.

Cognition is Extended: It is directly associated with the tools we use.

A calculator helps us think and reason. Involves tools we create, tools we naturally find, and other people. The tools enable a specific type of cognition, like calculator triggers numerical cognition.

Cognition is physical

Cognition emerges from our body, the enivornment, our interaction with other things, and the tools we create. Cognition is physical.

Cognition is a connection between the body, the brain, the tools we create, and the environment we live in.
