Revolutionizing Social Cognition: Embracing the Radically Embodied Social Mind
The article rethinks how our bodies play a role in how we understand and interact with others. It criticizes traditional views that focus only on the mind, arguing that our bodies are crucial in social cognition. The researchers suggest that current approaches to embodied social cognition still miss the mark by not fully embracing the idea of a radically embodied social mind. They propose a new way of thinking about social cognition that combines individual and social levels, emphasizing the importance of embodiment and social interaction dynamics. The goal is to expand our understanding of how our bodies shape our social interactions and avoid reverting to old ways of thinking.
