	Embodied Cognition [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Embodied cognition theorists view cognitivist/classicist accounts as problematic for many reasons, but they are especially concerned that these accounts result in an isolationist assumption that attempts to understand cognition by focusing almost exclusively on an organism's internal cognitive processes.
		The contemporary notion of embodied cognition stands in contrast to the prevailing cognitivist stance which sees the mind as a device to manipulate symbols and is thus concerned with the formal rules and processes by which the symbols appropriately represent the world (xx).
		Yet, embodied cognition theorists question the evolutionary viability of viewing cognition as passive retrieval; they maintain it is too time-consuming and unnecessary for organisms to formulate representations that completely mirror environmental features that are unrelated to the goal-directed activity the organism is currently performing.

	Introduction to embodiment - Embodiment (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Embodiment theorists hold the view that cognition arises from both this body and these interactions (see cognition remains embodied and emergent behaviour).
		As cognition is embodied, so the theory goes, animals with similar bodily configurations to humans are likely to have similar cognitive systems too.
		Cognitive linguistics recognises the embodied nature of language, pointing to everyday conceptual metaphors, such as 'I feel hot under collar', which arises from the bodily correlation between being stressed/angry and be physically hot.

	Lanigan (specific) - Embodiment: Signs of Life in the Self
		Embodiment is a matter of perception that discovers expression; embodiment is a preconscious being of the person that is the lived-comportment prior to a consciousness that has experiences (Henstenberg 1963: 165-200).
		Thus in the dynamics of the preconscious embodiment of the person, there is an order of analysis moving from the experienced to the experiencing to the experiencer which in human comportment is the semiosis of perception constituting the expression of the person.
		These domains of embodiment know as play are "autotherapeutic" in the "sense that it is a rudimentary form of the adult capacity to create models andexperiment with alternative behaviors without committing oneself to those behaviors" (Anderson and Carter 1990: 208).

	What about embodiment? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I also entertain a likely objection contending that embodiment is merely a type of 'dynamic behavior', and is therefore covered by the target article.
		Rather than try to settle the question whether embodiment is or is not a version of dynamic behavior, I propose to consider how connectionism and ACT-R fare in the case where it is added as a separate criterion, and where dynamic behavior is interpreted to include it.
		Were embodiment added as a criterion, I suggest that connectionism would achieve mixed results.

	Defining Embodiment (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Embodiment is the central theme in European phenomenology, with its most extensive treatment in the works of Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
		Merleau-Ponty’s account of embodiment distinguishes between the objective body,which is the body regarded as a physiological entity, and the phenomenal body, which is not just some body, some particular physiological entity, but my (or your) body as I (or you) experience it.
		Embodiment is not a concept that pertains to the body grasped as a physiological entity.

	User Embodiment in Collaborative Virtual Environments (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In our experience, user embodiment becomes an obviously important issue when designing collaborative virtual environments, probably due to their highly graphic nature and the way in which designers are given a free hand in creating objects.
		Thus, an embodiment can be likened to a 'marionette' with active autonomous behaviours together with a series of strings which the user is continuously 'pulling' as smoothly as possible.
		In the text interface, users are embodied by a single character (typically the first letter of their chosen name) which shows position and may help identify users in a limited way.

	Preferred Embodiment
		The key elements of the method of the preferred embodiment will be presented in terms of a concrete application in which the encryption/decryption capabilities of this invention are advantageous.
		The apparatus of the preferred embodiment has several basic parts which are used in both encryption and decryption.
		While both encryption and decryption in the preferred embodiment are best performed in parallel hardware, it is possible to perform decryption as well as encryption using a single main data processor, using the same apparatus as used in iterative encryption and as shown in figure 2.

	THE CYBORG'S DILEMNA: PROGRESSIVE EMBODIMENT IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS, BY Frank Biocca
		On the other hand, progressive embodiment may be part of a larger pattern, the cultural evolution of humans and communication artifacts towards a mutual integration and greater "somatic flexibility" [(Bateson, 1972)].
		Both pertain to the effect of progressive embodiment, that is, the embodiment of the user's body via close coupling to the interface and representations of coupled body via first person avatar geometry and behavior.
		In the design of artificial intelligence, embodiment is debated in discussions of the role of body, its function in ongoing representations of the external world, and its role in plans and action (e.g., Haber and Weiss, 1996; Johnson, 1987; Lakoff, 1987; Lakoff and Johnson, 1980)].

	Mormon Philosophy & Theology
		But I have thought a lot about the Jewish notion of "nefesh." The Jewish notion of "nefesh" or soul is not a spirit in an ontological sense, as we find in Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz or other philosophers.

		To encounter ourselves not as an invisible self, but to be forced to encounter ourselves in such a limiting way that we see ourselves as we couldn't before.

	Processes of Embodiment and Spatialization in the Writings of Paul Auster
		The particular embodiment as text that Quinn is interested in as a detective/reader of the city is being written by another character, Peter Stillman, who seems to be using his steps for ink and the streets of New York for paper.
		Again, the embodiment of the abstract notion of alienation is most complete in the case of Anna Blume, come to a foreign city as a stranger on a hopeless quest.
		Through the same process of embodiment by which Blume finds herself an object hunter in the Country of Last Things, what would merely cost the poet effort in a single piece of writing may prove to be a fatal mistake in the City of Destruction, where the injunctions of poetry are injunctions of survival.

		By investigating these (and/or other related issues) we aim to evaluate the theoretical significance of embodiment for the concepts of intersectional gender and sexuality in feminist theory, and the practical significance of embodied regulation for the ethical and legal understanding of harm and choice.

	body, embodiment
		To Embody is to put into a body an idea or spirit, to give a concrete form to or to express (principles, thoughts, or intentions) within art, action, word combinations, or institutions.
		Thus, an embodiment of an idea or principle is its physical form, realization or expression, or the incarnation of that idea.
		We view the brain as a "flesh computer, but never the computer as an imitation of man." While we plug out, and seize to embody the media objects, the never seize to embody us--we continue to think of ourselves manifesting their actions or extensions of our own senses.

	Making embodiment measurable - Tom Quick & Kerstin Dautenhahn (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A significant initial assumption in almost all cases is that to be 'embodied' is 'to have a physical body.' Explicit consideration of the nature of embodiment tends to be neglected in favour of reflection on the consequences of this assumption - 'from recognising embodiment these consequences follow: _____' (cf.
		Embodiment is, in this sense, not solely a feature of a system in an environment, but is grounded in the relationship between the two.
		That is, X is embodied in E if for every time t at which both X and E exist, some subset of E's possible states with respect to X have the capacity to perturb X's state, and some subset of X's possible states with respect to E have the capacity to perturb E's state.

	Jesus Creed » Eclectic Embodiment
		There is some deep need for this group of Christians to “embody” what they believe and that this embodiment is both confession and evocative of the gospel itself.
		Embodiment has always been a part of the gospel, and the most central and significant (still and always will be) aspect of embodiment of the gospel in the Church is the Lord’s Supper/Communion/Mass (whatever one calls it).
		I have my hesitations, and have my questions, but I’m willing to listen to anyone who wants to articulate a theory of Christian embodiment that knows that this world is designed by God to express the glory of God and that through physical objects we can express our worship and love of God.

		He also predicts that understanding the channels for embodiment awareness will affect the design of future distance learning systems, and will provide insights on how best to provide embodiment cues to students in Internet-based instruction.
