Embodied cognition is a field of study that posits motor experience can relate to gains in conceptual knowledge (Wellsby & Pexman, 2014). The theory shares its roots with early Piaget type of ideas—specifically relating to the sensorimotor stage of development. This stage focuses on the physical interactions an infant has with the world and how the infant understands the world through those interactions (REF). A Piagetian perspective does not answer every question regarding embodied cognition. However, it does start a line of questions surrounding how influential motor experience is on other systems, including the use of language. There is a range of perspectives in embodied cognition, ranging from cognitive skills always stemming from an embodied experience, to the two systems being dichotomous. There is not a lot of support on either end of the spectrum defining the extremes of embodiment, so a middle ground has been proposed (Meteyard, Cuadrado, Bahrami, & Vigliocco, 2012).
The current field of embodied cognition in adult studies relies heavily on the empirically proven phenomena of the motor cortex engaging when an adult

The results of Yu and Smith’s study also demonstrated that the infant displayed higher levels of word learning when the object was labeled as the infant held and looked the object (Yu & Smith, 2012). Yu attributes these findings to the infants isolating objects out of a cluttered environment. Further, it is though that this act of interacting with the toy that will lead to greater word learning due to the object being held having an isolated view. Yu coins this as “embodied attention”. It is the infant who selects objects in their environment to interact with, and the infant in turn will learn these label mappings
Sexual thoughts pop in and out of most people’s mind, but especially teenagers, and there’s nothing they can do about it. It is normal for teenage boys and girls to experience this, more than ever when they are hitting puberty. The hormones in the body begin to act up and teenagers want to experience other things on their own. Males begin to grow pubic and facial hairs, and their voice starts to deepen, while girls’ breasts begin to develop and their body begins to take shape. After hitting puberty, teenagers are now at the point where they want to experience things. ‚Don’t go out there and get pregnant‛ a mother

We already know that there has been a precipitous decline in the study of liberal arts because many people do not value it anymore. English and history are now being pushed aside for math or science. Fareed Zakaria, an American journalist and author, in his article, “What's the Use of a Liberal Education?” writes, “Even President Obama recently urged students to keep in mind that a technical training could be more valuable than a degree in art history. Majors like English, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline.” This mindset is causing many people to turn away from liberal arts-based subjects, so they can pursue something that would “be more valuable”.
In 1976, Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in response to a growing national concern about public exposure to toxic chemicals. Since then, it has largely been hailed as a failure for two reasons. First, TSCA has been unable to effectively compel producers to test and disclose adequate information on chemical toxicity. Second, it has been ineffective at designating sufficient resources to the EPA to identify and reduce the possible health and environmental risks associated with new chemicals. Nonetheless, it has been devoid of major revisions since its implementation. In the nearly 40 years of congressional inaction on this issue, many states have intervened by enacting stricter chemical laws that fill in TSCA’s gaps.

Once again legislators have failed to get their act together to legalize MMA in New York.While this would have been an exciting step in the right direction the next best tactic is to see how the sport ( categorized as combat) is as safe as possible for the athelete. The amemdments to the lastest bill were a jab in the right direction (pun intended). By having an Athletic Commission or third-party organizations approved by the Commission sanction events this ensures conformity of promoters, events and atheltes alike.
Children with autism spectrum disorder are usually aggressive and noncompliant. Parents want to treat these behaviors before others. PCIT is the best way to treat these behaviors and has shown to be successful, but whether or not PCIT is effective at treating noncompliance of aggression of children with high functioning autism is questionable. According to Masse, McNeil, Wagner, and Chorney (2007), results indicate that PCIT has been an effective preliminary way to treat children with high functioning autism, but only according to case studies. This means that while PCIT has been shown to be effective in autistic kids, it is really dependent on the child themselves. Similar-ly, Lesack, Bearss, Celano, and Sharp (2014) found from a case study
This process requires action, the intake, distribution, and application of information with speech, motion, even biological processes. As De Jaeger and Di Paolo state, “movements are at the center of mental activity: a sense-making agent’s movements – which include utterances – are the tools of her cognition.” These tools serve to facilitate “a particular kind of encounter between a ‘questioning’ agent with a particular body…and a ‘responding’ segment of the world” (De Jaeger and Di Paolo 489). De Jaeger and Di Paolo took this phenomenon a step further in their essay, expanding on the process of sense making and putting it into a conversational context between two or more people.
I would tell my friend Rene about “Parent’s approach to discipline is crucial”. When parents use physical force or social and emotional manipulation to control there children it only makes them more aggressive. Children who experience heavy doses of such such parenting are more likely to be aggressive. “Another aspect of parental behavior that is linked to aggression is monitoring, which refers to parents’ knowledge of where their children are, what are they doing, and who they're with”(p.g 372). So when you don’t monitor your children they will become aggressive. So far childern's aggression are linked when the parents are begin physcial with them. I would also tell my friend about my experence. When my sister becomes physcial with her son

Children use their schemas when they try to understand their world (Shaffer & Kipp). According to Piaget, cognition develops through schemes (Piaget & Inherlder, 1969). When Max and his aunt were talking, he used his schema to understand a new word “eva”. He firstly strived to adapt to his new experience by interpreting it in terms of existing schemes, in other words, he used assimilation. However, when he used “üve” word instead of “eva”, there was no meaningful expression, because “üve” is not a word that has a real meaning. He just tried to produce a word that similar to “eva”. When Max uttered the “üve”, he was not self-assured, because he was uttering the word slowly, and he was waiting a confirmation of his aunt by making eye contact.
It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a motivator for a person to keep trying until the objective or aim of a particular mission is fulfilled.
