"Six Views of Embodied Cognition" Margaret Wilson

Theme of the reading
In this article Margaret Wilson attempts to explore the various aspects of the emerging consensus that cognition is fundamentally an embodied phenomenon. She distinguishes six principal claims that often appear with the embodied cognition perspective:(1) cognition is situated; (2) cognition is time-pressured; (3) we off-load cognitive work onto the environment; (4) the environment is part of the cognitive system; (5) cognition is for action; (6) offline cognition is body based. She then discusses each claim in turn, providing evidence for or against each one.
