Document Summary

Predictions turn into experiences (math, language and logic makes us special) Need representation, then manipulate it to produce new things. Natural by the brain e. g. less human like. Body (embodied approach cognition) vs. operation of symbolic systems. Think, act= separate vs. let"s look at how others do things (mixed up) vs. think about low level stuff e. g. 1 a not b error. If put in b, baby keep finding in a. Not just fact of knowledge kids don"t have. Don"t interfere with knowing where the toy is. Big difference in how they perform eg. 2 glitter sleeve. More likely to make mistake if focused on motor aspects of the task eg. 3 older children who should know better sand-look for it closer to a side. Shows: bis not just i know a so i"ll do b. What you do is cuz of history. things you know+done. Integrate visual + auditory=integration: somewhere in the middle. Nothing to do with body + thinking eg4.
