By embodiment we will simply mean that states of the body, such as postures, arm movements, and facial expressions, arise during social interaction and play central roles in social information processing. Across diverse paradigms, social psychologists have reported four types of embodiment effects. First, perceived social stimuli do not just produce cognitive states, they produce bodily states as well. Second, perceiving bodily states in others produces bodily mimicry in the self. Third, bodily states in the self produce affective states. Fourth, the compatibility of bodily states and cognitive states modulates performance effectiveness. Although these four findings have been well known for many years, they have remained relatively disparate. No single theory has integrated them, nor explained them in a unified manner. Recent research on embodiment in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience offers a framework for doing so. Increasingly these researchers are developing
