tHE pervasive idea of the BRAIN as computer is no longer the only cognitive game in town
In deconstructive terminology what current thinking is on cognition is the 'embodied turn'
Both ecological psychology and connectionist psychology have played significant roles in the rise of embodied cognition. Subtext the brain is not a computer there is far more to it than that.
Phenomenological influence can be seen clearly in embodied cognition analyses of the relation between mind and body.
These analyses reject the idea that mentality is fundamentally different and separate from physicality and the corollary idea that others’ mentality is somehow hidden from view. Inspired by Husserl and other phenomenologists, embodied cognition proponents argue that Cartesian-style analyses of the mind and the body fundamentally misconstrue cognition (Gallagher and Zahavi, 2008).
