我反对一个日益激进的趋势，在当前的理论认知科学，从嵌入式认知的前提下，体现认知，动力系统理论和/或位于机器人的结论，无论是心灵是不是在大脑中或认知不需要表示，或两者兼而有之。我发掘的考虑因素在这个观点的基础：豪格兰的带宽组件参数的效果，大脑是不是一个组成部分的认知活动，参数的动力系统理论和位于机器人的效果，认知活动不涉及表示。这两条线不仅取决于重点从高级认知功能转移到感觉运动过程，还取决于对感觉运动过程如何实现的某种理解-作为闭环控制系统。我描述了一个更复杂的感觉运动处理模型，它不仅比简单的闭环控制更强大和鲁棒，而且有很大的证据表明它在神经系统中实现。这是表征的仿真理论，根据该理论，大脑构建身体和环境的内部动力学模型或仿真器，这些模型与身体和环境并行使用，以增强运动控制和感知，并在运动过程中提供更快的反馈，并且可以离线运行以产生图像并评估感觉运动反事实。然后，我表明，仿真框架是免疫的激进的论点，并使明显的为什么大脑是认知活动的一个组成部分，以及究竟是什么样的表示在感觉运动控制。
I argue against a growing radical trend in current theoretical cognitive science that moves from the premises of embedded cognition, embodied cognition, dynamical systems theory and/or situated robotics to conclusions either to the effect that the mind is not in the brain or that cognition does not require representation, or both. I unearth the considerations at the foundation of this view: Haugeland's bandwidth-component argument to the effect that the brain is not a component in cognitive activity, and arguments inspired by dynamical systems theory and situated robotics to the effect that cognitive activity does not involve representations. Both of these strands depend not only on a shift of emphasis from higher cognitive functions to things like sensorimotor processes, but also depend on a certain understanding of how sensorimotor processes are implemented - as closed-loop control systems. I describe a much more sophisticated model of sensorimotor processing that is not only more powerful and robust than simple closed-loop control, but for which there is great evidence that it is implemented in the nervous system. The is the emulation theory of representation, according to which the brain constructs inner dynamical models, or emulators, of the body and environment which are used in parallel with the body and environment to enhance motor control and perception and to provide faster feedback during motor processes, and can be run off-line to produce imagery and evaluate sensorimotor counterfactuals. I then show that the emulation framework is immune to the radical arguments, and makes apparent why the brain is a component in the cognitive activity, and exactly what the representations are in sensorimotor control.
