The article discusses how theories of embodied cognition are changing how we understand emotions. In the past, emotions were seen as less important than reason, but now we see them as crucial to how we think, perceive, and remember. Recent studies show that emotions cannot be separated from our mental processes. While we still have much to learn about how embodied cognition works, this new perspective could lead to advancements in learning, language understanding, therapy, and even the creation of more human-like artificial intelligence.
