Embodied Cognition is Not What you Think it is
TLDR
Four key steps that research programs should follow in order to fully engage with the implications of embodiment are outlined, and how to apply this analysis to the thorny question of language use is introduced.
Body-in-motion : Broadening the social mind
Embodiment has become an important concept in many areas of cognitive science during the past two decades, but yet there is no common understanding of what actually constitutes embodied cognition.…
The Synthetic Approach to Embodied Cognition
Embodied cognition: dimensions, domains and applications
TLDR
It is concluded that embodied cognition is a very fruitful research programme for the empirical sciences and that can adequately explain many aspects of human cognitive behaviour.

Deictic codes for the embodiment of cognition.
TLDR
Deictic computation provides a mechanism for representing the essential features that link external sensory data with internal cognitive programs and motor actions and this target article focuses on how deictic bindings make it possible to perform natural tasks.

The Dynamical Challenge
TLDR
The primary goal of the present paper is to clarify just what is at issue and to highlight some of the most central and pressing concerns, and to open up a space of intermediate options— ways in which dynamical and representational/computational understandings may sometimes afford complementary perspectives on adaptive success.

Perceptual symbol systems
TLDR
A perceptual theory of knowledge can implement a fully functional conceptual system while avoiding problems associated with amodal symbol systems and implications for cognition, neuroscience, evolution, development, and artificial intelligence are explored.
