Embodied Cognition

Embodied cognition theorizes that many features of cognition in humans are shaped by aspects that are beyond the brain. The brain itself is capable of storing facts and memories but cognition is the faculty that uses these stored facts and knowledge to move beyond just facts. It is what allows to humans to engage in high level mental constructs (such as concepts and categories) and performance on various cognitive tasks (such as reasoning or judgment).
