What are the foundational principles by which acquired information is organized and processed in the human brain? In this episode University of Rome Professor Anna Borghi talks about several prominent working theories of cognition including embodied cognition (interactions with objects and other people), inner speech, and abstract concepts. She talks about how language is a prominent feature of these theories and the methods used to test these theories. We also touch on evolutionary and developmental perspectives that help explain these cognitive abilities.
