Description
The
Handbook of Cognitive Science provides an overview of recent developments in cognition research, relying upon non-classical
approaches. Cognition is explained as the continuous interplay between brain, body, and environment, without relying on classical notions
of computations and representation to explain cognition. The handbook serves as a valuable companion for readers interested in foundational
aspects of cognitive science, and neuroscience and the philosophy of mind. The handbook begins with an introduction to embodied cognitive
science, and then breaks up the chapters into separate sections on conceptual issues, formal approaches, embodiment in perception and
action, embodiment from an artificial perspective, embodied meaning, and emotion and consciousness. Contributors to the book represent
research overviews from around the globe including the US, UK, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
