“…There is a growing emphasis in cognitive science on the embodied and embedded nature of cognition (e.g., Clark, 2010;Glenberg, 2010;Hollan, Hutchins, & Kirsh, 2000;Hutchins, 1995;Killeen & Glenberg, 2010;Kirsh, 1996Kirsh, , 2010Pfeifer & Bongard, 2006;Wilson, 2002). According to this perspective, an important part of understanding cognition involves considering how we use our body (e.g., Pfeifer & Bongard, 2006) and the world (e.g., Kirsh, 1996Kirsh, , 2010 in the course of cognizing (Hutchins, 1995).…”

Determining how we use our body to support cognition represents an important part of understanding the embodied and embedded nature of cognition. In the present investigation, we pursue this question in the context of a common perceptual task. Specifically, we report a series of experiments investigating head tilt (i.e., external normalization) as a strategy in letter naming and reading stimuli that are upright or rotated. We demonstrate that the frequency of this natural behavior is modulated by the cost of stimulus rotation on performance. In addition, we demonstrate that external normalization can benefit performance. All of the results are consistent with the notion that external normalization represents a form of cognitive offloading and that effort is an important factor in the decision to adopt an internal or external strategy.

“…By this account, individual variability is an essential property of embodied cognition, because our internal representations "become tuned to somewhat different physical environments and develop in somewhat different perceptual systems" (Barsalou, 1999, p. 599). Killeen and Glenberg (2010) also acknowledge that variability in embodiment is to be expected. They note that "fundamental perceptual, linguistic, emotional, and social processes change when there are changes in the relation between bodily capabilities and the environment" (p. 72).…”

“…This can be referred to as a situated level of cognition that engages taskspecific knowledge representations (cf. Killeen & Glenberg, 2010). Finally, both situated and embodied levels of cognition are grounded in the physical reality of the world with its universal constraints, such as gravity (see Fischer & Brugger, 2011, for a more detailed elaboration).…”

“…The recent scientific literature provides several reviews of embodied cognition (Wilson, 2002;Barsalou, 2008;Fischer & Zwaan, 2008;Chatterjee, 2010;Killeen & Glenberg, 2010;Meteyard, Cuadrado, Bahrami, & Vigliocco, 2010;Fischer & Brugger, 2011), which consider how knowledge representations relate to and co-activate sensory and motor experiences. This relationship is interchangeably characterized as embodied, grounded, or situated cognition.…”

This editorial introduces a set of papers on differential embodiment in spatial tasks. According to the theoretical notion of embodied cognition, our experiences of acting in the world, and the constraints of our sensory and motor systems, strongly shape our cognitive functions. In the current set of papers, the authors were asked to particularly consider idiosyncratic or differential embodied cognition in the context of spatial tasks and processes. In each contribution, differential embodiment is considered from one of two complementary perspectives: either by considering unusual individuals, who have atypical bodies or uncommon experiences of interacting with the world; or by exploring individual differences in the general population that reflect the naturally occurring variability in embodied processes. Our editorial summarizes the contributions to this special issue and discusses the insights they offer. We conclude from this collection of papers that exploring differences in the recruitment and involvement of embodied processes can be highly informative, and can add an extra dimension to our understanding of spatial cognitive functions. Taking a broader perspective, it can also shed light on important theoretical and empirical questions concerning the nature of embodied cognition per se.

“…A further model, the exocentric paradigm, suggests that cognition happens in the whole body and in the environment, as well as the brain, thus expanding the scope from the centralized location (neocortex) to the entire nervous system (Killeen & Glenberg, 2010). Inclusion of interactions between organism and environment into behavior shifts an important portion of behavioral events once attributed to agency to an account based on "renewal and empowerment of both cognitive and behavioral science."…”

INTRODUCTION: Patients and their families struggle with accepting changes in personality after traumatic brain injury (TBI). A neuroanatomic understanding may assist with this process. OBJECTIVES: We briefly review the history of the Western conceptualization of the Self, and discuss how neuroscience and changes in personality wrought by brain injuries modify and enrich our understanding of our selves and our patients. CONCLUSION: The sense of self, while conflated with the concept of a "soul" in Western thinking, is more rationally considered a construct derived from neurophysiologic structures. The self or personality therefore often changes when the brain changes. A neuroanatomic perspective can help patients, families, and clinicians accept and cope with the sequellae of TBI. bases of affect, morality, empathy, and sense of self. We discuss embodiment theory and briefly describe an exocentric model as one possible way to reframe our understanding of "mind" and "body". Rethinking these issues -modifying and expanding one's "philosophy of mind" -can help patients, family members, and clinicians accept and more effectively respond to brain injury. A brief historical review of the early western theory of mind: The struggle toward a physical systemAs stated in one text on Philosophy of Mind, this branch of philosophy explores the relationship between mind, brain, and body and between the mental and the physical (Chalmers, 2002, p. xi).
