Conceptual knowledge: Grounded in sensorimotor states, or a disembodied deus ex machina?

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: If embodied models no longer address thesymbol grounding problemand a “disembodied” conceptual system can step in and resolve categorizations when embodied simulations fail, then perhaps the next step in theory-building is to isolate the unique contributions of embodied simulation. What is a disembodied conceptual system incapable of doing with respect to semantic processing or the categorization of smiles?
