Keywords

Embodied Cognition, Cognitive Science, Perception, Action, Embodied Experience, Human–Environment Interaction, Cognitive Processes, Art and Cognition, Interdisciplinary Research, Cognitive Research

Introduction

Embodied cognition is a broad research perspective concerned with the role of bodily states, sensorimotor activity, and environmental interaction in cognitive processes. Rather than treating cognition exclusively as an abstract computational activity, embodied approaches investigate how cognition can be shaped by the body and by an individual’s interaction with physical and social environments.[1]

Research Profile

Yuxuan Li is identified with the School of Art at Soochow University, China, with embodied cognition specified as the principal subject area for this recognition profile. The positioning of embodied cognition within an art-related academic environment reflects the potential for interdisciplinary investigation of perception, bodily experience, creative practice, visual or spatial engagement, and human interaction with designed environments.

Research Contributions

Research associated with embodied cognition can contribute to an understanding of how bodily activity and interaction with the environment participate in cognitive processes. Foundational work in the field has emphasized the importance of sensorimotor experience and situated interaction in accounts of cognition.[1]

Publications

The supplied recognition profile does not provide a verified publication list or individual publication metadata. Accordingly, no specific publications are attributed to Yuxuan Li in this section.
