Editor's Notes
- According to the findings of grounded cognition researchers, at any given time people perceive the situation around them and formulate a conceptualization of this situation by integrating all sensory modalities activated in this situation. This means visual, auditive, and the motor aspects of bodily action as well as smell and taste are equally involved into cognitive processing and contribute to the formation of concepts and memory (Barsalou, Simmons, Barbey, Wilson, 2003), (Barsalou, 2009).
- Humphreys argues that humans extend their natural observational skills with instruments (e.g. with telescopes and microscopes) and their analytical abilities with computational models (e.g. with algorithms and simulations).
