具身认知反对将心灵视为计算机的观点。因此，评估我们的身体如何促进我们的计算（即数字认知）具有诊断意义。我们首先指出具身认知如何将我们的方法论焦点从按下按钮转变为运动分析。然后，我们回顾了我们最近关于数字和空间之间普遍关联如何影响与数字相关的任务的工作，从个位数处理和理解负数开始。这些研究解决了使用抽象概念对具身认知的挑战，并引入了有前途的握力方法。接下来，我们描述扎根的、具体化的和情境化的知识表示如何对心算施加系统启发和偏见。一个新模型解释了我们如何在计算时激活我们的运动系统。最后，我们记录了情感处理如何与计算相互作用并确定跨领域认知原则。这项工作的重点是支持对数学思维的具体理解。
Embodied cognition opposes the view of the mind as a computer. It is therefore diagnostic to assess how our bodies contribute to our computations—i.e., to numerical cognition. We begin by pointing out how embodied cognition changed our methodological focus from button-pressing to movement analyses. Then we review our recent work on how the pervasive association between numbers and space influences number-related tasks, beginning with single-digit processing and comprehending negative numbers. These studies address the challenge to embodied cognition from using abstract concepts and also introduce the promising grip-force methodology. Next, we describe how grounded, embodied, and situated knowledge representations impose systematic heuristics and biases on mental arithmetic. A new model explains how we activate our motor system while calculating. Finally, we document how emotional processing interacts with calculating and identify cross-domain cognitive principles. This work converges on supporting an embodied understanding of the mathematical mind.
