Document Summary

Creativity (brainstorming, combining ideas, thinking of new ideas) All state that behavior emerges from interaction between an organism and its current setting. How our physical bodies (esp. perceptual and motor systems) shape our thinking and behavior. The ways that our physical bodies interact with our physical environments to shape our thinking and behavior. Thinking and behavior are tied to specific physical, social and cultural settings. All state that our world, bodies and brains form a system for thinking and behavior (the brain alone does not control all thinking and behavior) We cannot fully understand cognition without information from all three forms of cognition. Memory biases: examples of how current state shapes our memories. Our expectations shape the way that we see things.
