ABSTRACT
If embodied cognition is genuinely something new, something that advances, replaces, or otherwise supersedes standard cognitive science, then one should expect it to leave behind at least some of the methodological and conceptual commitments on which standard cognitive science rests. In our investigations of Conceptualization and, more explicitly, Replacement, we have seen arguments that embodied cognition does just this. Understanding the mind requires understanding the constraints that a body imposes on it, or requires an appreciation of the coupled interactions between brain, body, and world from which cognitive activity spontaneously emerges, and, for one reason or another, standard cognitive science is not equipped to accommodate these facts.
