行为和感知可以独立研究的假设在大脑和心灵科学的理论、模型和实验方法中根深蒂固。在认知科学中，这一直是计算主义和4E（生成、体现、扩展和嵌入）认知理论之间争论的中心点，前者拥抱“经典三明治”、模块化、心灵架构，而后者积极否认可以进行这种分离。在这项工作中，我们认为，模块化的独立性的行动和感知强烈共鸣与控制理论的分离原则，而且这一原则提供了正式的标准，在其中评估的模块化的行动和感知的影响。我们还将看到，与环境的实时反馈，通常被认为是必要的4E思想的定义，然而，不是一个充分的条件，以避免“经典三明治”。最后，我们认为，在认知和脑科学，主动推理，一个新兴的框架，扩展了来自控制理论的生物系统的研究，而处置的分离原则，描述非模块化的行为模型强烈对齐4E理论的认知思想。
The assumption that action and perception can be investigated independently is entrenched in theories, models and experimental approaches across the brain and mind sciences. In cognitive science, this has been a central point of contention between computationalist and 4Es (enactive, embodied, extended and embedded) theories of cognition, with the former embracing the "classical sandwich", modular, architecture of the mind and the latter actively denying this separation can be made. In this work we suggest that the modular independence of action and perception strongly resonates with the separation principle of control theory and furthermore that this principle provides formal criteria within which to evaluate the implications of the modularity of action and perception. We will also see that real-time feedback with the environment, often considered necessary for the definition of 4Es ideas, is not however a sufficient condition to avoid the "classical sandwich". Finally, we argue that an emerging framework in the cognitive and brain sciences, active inference, extends ideas derived from control theory to the study of biological systems while disposing of the separation principle, describing non-modular models of behaviour strongly aligned with 4Es theories of cognition.
