Title: Thinking with your body
Abstract: In sensorimotor theories of perception and learning, the role of the body and bodily interaction is central to perception. While embodied cognition has been saying this for some time, the extent of the role that the body plays in our everyday thought processes is underappreciated. In this talk I will outline a sensorimotor theory, highlighting some problematic gaps in our account, before discussing a simple model of the approach used to control a humanoid robot (iCub). The model is then demonstrated to replicate some of Smith and Samuelson's 'space and time' experiments, but is more widely considered a model of sensorimotor learning.
