During the historic gathering of 3 #UnitedStates presidents last night, pro- #Palestinian protesters interrupted the event. Again, instead of ignoring their protestations, the presidents addressed the concerns.

All 3 men remarked on the #Israel #Hamas #war in #Gaza, reflecting on the difficulty of trying to solve intractable challenges such as #MiddleEast #peace as #POTUS. #Biden said there have been “too many innocent victims, Israeli & Palestinian,” in the conflict.

Grounding Cognition: The Role of Perception and Action in Memory, Language, and Thinking by Diane Pecher & Rolf A. Zwaan

This book brings together theoretical arguments and empirical evidence from several key researchers in this field.

One of the key questions in cognitive psychology is how people represent knowledge about concepts such as football or love. Some researchers have proposed that concepts are represented in human memory by the sensorimotor systems that underlie interaction with the outside world. These theories represent developments in cognitive science to view cognition no longer in terms of abstract information processing, but in terms of perception and action. In other words, cognition is grounded in embodied experiences. Studies show that sensory perception and motor actions support understanding of words and object concepts. Moreover, even understanding of abstract and emotion concepts can be shown to rely on more concrete, embodied experiences. Finally, language itself can be shown to be grounded in sensorimotor processes.
