The Mirror Neurons Neural Biological Evidences for

the Embodiment of Cognition

Abstract Traditional cognitive psychology assumes that cognitive processes are just like symbolic manipulation of a computer Human
brain is nor more than a symbol manipulating device This kind of model of human cognition gives support to mind body dualism But
in recent yearsthe view that cognition is embodied is rapidly gaining prominence in the world of psychology According to proponents of
embodied cognitioncognitive processes do not emanate from pure internal processes of abstract symbolsthey emerge from the interaction of our body and the world Cognition is embodiedand is not separable from bodily structure and bodily sensory motor systems
The discovery of mirror neurons give support to the embodiment of cognitionand provide neural biologys evidences for embodied cognition
Key words mirror neuron embodied cognition cognitive psychology mind body dualism
