Critical Reflection Paper: Embodied Cognition
Debate: Classic cognitive is an outdated approach to studying the mind.
There is sufficient evidence (empirical and logical) to compel researchers to focus on an explanation of behavior that doesn’t rely on mental representation.
In this paper you will make an argument to either support or refute the debate statement. You don’t need to respond according to your group for this paper but you are expected to include some information from both sides of the argument.
This paper does not need to include outside sources beyond lecture material, discussion material, and assigned readings. These reflection papers will be graded based on how well you have considered the evidence provided to you in class (discussions) and the readings, whether you have thoroughly considered both sides of the argument, and how convincingly you can make an argument supporting one view.
