ABSTRACT
Systems of bodily representation of these "inner" kinds are what we regard as the key to embodied cognition. Specifically, embodied cognition is the application of special systems, systems dedicated to inner bodily representation. An alternative possibility is to hold that parts of cognition are embodied and other parts are not; in other words, that some tokens of cognition are embodied and other tokens are not. "According to the embodied cognition hypothesis, the motor system is activated because that activation is causally involved in the semantic analysis of the sentence. Combining this wide-ranging literature with the definition provided previously makes for a robust case of embodied cognition. Specific premotor areas reflecting the different involvement of body part information were found to be active. Within a modularist framework, there is the idea that each module has its own proprietary format, which may consist in a distinctive vocabulary, syntax, and/or set of computational procedures.
