Traditionally\, cognitive scientists argued for a view of the mind in which \;perception\, cognition and action were seen as distinct (classical sandwich). \;Recently\, this view of the human mind has been questioned and a call for \;renegotiation of the relations between input\, central processing and output \;systems of the mind has been put forth. In particular\, proponents of \;&lsquo\;embodiment&rsquo\; argue that the human body plays a crucial role in cognition\, \;while proponents of &lsquo\;grounded cognition&rsquo\; argue that cognition is ultimately \;analyzable into sensorimotor representations.
\n\nThe focus of this two-day workshop will be on theoretical questions related \;to the &lsquo\;grounding cognition thesis&rsquo\; and the implications stemming from the \;claim that sensorimotor representations play a crucial role in cognition. An \;attempt will be made to address\, amongst others\, the following issues: \;
