The term embodied cognition has different meanings for different people, and in different researchers. What I mean is using, is partly, in part, using the body to think. And it's evident in research we've done with students learning complicated information. When you look at it, you get the feeling that they're translating the words into thought.
Conveying the right type of information for a group so that they can make accurate decisions can be challenging. Barbara Tversky, Professor Emerita of Psychology at Stanford University and Professor of Psychology at Teachers College at Columbia University, alongside our take-over hosts, Barton Friedland and Jarno Kartela, uncover how people think about the physical and digital spaces they inhabit and how those are used to think, to communicate, to create, and of course, to decide. If you are a business leader, wanting better tools for understanding context and meaning in your teams, this is the podcast for you.
