Memory, Judgments, and Embodiment Effects in our Psychological and Philosophical Reasoning
Studies show an overwhelming influence of motorics on memorial functions. This raises critical questions. If a phenomenon as fundamental as motor behaviour does influence memory this much what impact would this have on our addressing questions and issues? What meaning would terms such as objectivity, fidelity, accuracy, truth, impartiality, and the like have for humans whose cognitive operations have much to do with a memory system whose efficiency could be consequent upon circumstantial matters as whether motor activity or mere verbal encoding is involved?
