Embodied Cognition And Mental Imagery

Abstract

The referenced study explores Embodied Cognition through the lens of multiple-model approach. Additionally, it tracks the function of Mental and Visual imagery in science and psychological study. Embodied cognitive science comprises a loose network of cognitive
science study projects that share a willingness to challenge and even substitute conventional approaches to perception and cognitive function. This paper discusses Visual Imagery as one of those emerging themes. Visual imaging has played a key part in the debate about mental activity and plays a central role in multiple behavioural health conditions and plays an extremely significant role in their care. The paper also addresses certain theories of embodies cognition. Traditionally, the cognitive approach has resisted the analysis of internal images, particularly visual imagery. These restrictions are currently being removed, with more advanced analysis methods contributing to many new findings in imagery. Clinical evidence centred around linkages between cognitive, perceptual behaviour systems. Hence, the paper also focuses on the bio-mechanical aspects of Embodied cognition and Imagery. Finally, the study has identified two key components pertaining to the cognitive framework. Firstly, the human psychological cognition highlighting the modal information as opposed to amodal (abstract) conceptual themes. Secondly that perception is significantly dependent on one’s awareness of the subjective concepts as opposed to internal images or ideas of the concept one holds. Keywords: embodied
