Cognitivism

Great classes. Very interesting subject. 👍👍👍

[@mcnoodles76]

I really love your presentations. Your delivery (for me at least) is wonderfully clear and concise. Thank you

[@mcnoodles76]

Mr Cummings. I've commented before. Love your content. I'm down the embodied cognition rabbit hole right now. And trying to parse out how I can link it to developing movement skills in sport. Is its application in sport something you're particularly interested in?

[@FredCummins]

Not an avenue I've explored myself. You may like to look into the work of Andrew WIlson in Leeds, who enthusiastically applies ecological psychology theory to sports.

@@FredCummins thank you. I do follow Andrew and love his stuff. Nevertheless, I enjoy your videos and they help me make sense of the subject area. Thank you for sharing

Great talk - thanks for uploading all these. Could you clarify - if the cognitivist approach is seen as philosophically solipsistic (as I understand it though the emphasis on the subjective mind, representation, impoverished visual stimulus etc) what are the cognitivist arguments or positions against this solipsistic argument? In other words, how do cognitivists claim to break free from the internal mental prison? What to them is the objective part?

[@FredCummins]

That's not a simple matter to address. Our culture is deeply individualistic, and wedded for many reasons to the notion of a closed private domain of experience. Loosening that thought constraint cannot be done by a single argument, but may, perhaps emerge as we all rethink our being in a drastically changing world. Changing externalities lead to cosmic shifts. Individual arguments remain within the status quo.
