title: Beyond Object Constancy creator: Harnad, Stevan subject: Perceptual Cognitive Psychology description: It is surely not irrelevant that such a large proportion of the brain is devoted to the body and to sensorimotor processing (Jeannerod 1994, Kaas 1995, Zhang et al. 1997). That should already serve to alert us that embodiment is likely to be an important factor in cognition. Add to that the well-rehearsed advantages of letting the world serve as its own model (Steels & Brooks 1995), Gibson's (1979) influential findings on the role of sensorimotor interaction in the detection of invariants, and perhaps also my own writing on the symbol grounding problem (Harnad 1990, 1996) and there would appear to be a good deal of support for Pfeifer's (1998) position. date: 1998 type: Conference Paper type: NonPeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/1609/1/harnad98.iee.embodiment.html identifier: Harnad, Stevan (1998) Beyond Object Constancy.
