| Abstract | A rthur Glenberg, the preeminent cognitive psychologist who has extensively tested and written about the theory of embodied cognition, starts his course on the topic with questions such as these: “Do left-handers perceive the world differently than right-handers, such that, for example, right-handers like objects on the right more than objects on the left, but lefties like the opposite?”; “When you say about a potential date, ‘He leaves me cold,’ do you literally feel cold?”; “Does getting a Botox injection to remove frown lines make it difficult to understand a sentence about sadness?”; and, “When you are leaning backwards, are you more likely to think about your past than your future?” These questions clearly implicate the body in thought, and the surprising answer to all is “yes.” The empirical evidence that provides this answer supports the theory of embodied cognition. |
