Grounded Cognition

The Grounded Cognition Lab aims at advancing the understanding of the grounded, embedded, embodied, situated, extended, and dynamic nature of the human mind.

Central questions are:

-What are the roles played in human thought by its main contexts of interaction: body, language, co-actors and culture?

-How can we think of abstract concepts such as time, number, power, trustworthiness, or the good and the bad?

-How does communication arise in the multimodal interaction between interlocutors?

-How is thought scaffolded by material anchors provided by culture and education?

-How are communicative systems motivated and constrained by the grounded mind?
