Work from ...INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME<br />Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them.

You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

I've actually stocked up on some thelen and smith stuff, as well as some of the developmental/dynamics on emotion - because the emotion researchers that do development tend to think dynamically (and I don't understand why that has not extended to adult emotion research - maybe because it is so easy to ask grown ups to fill out questionnaires and press buttons....). There are some people who are interested in Gibsons ideas in the social realm (Leslie Zebrowitz, and some of the social ev psych types at Arizona), and I'm mulling the idea. In between everything else I have to do, like teach and grade papers....Asehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207837776193380053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-48269902393716018972012-03-20T09:36:13.784+00:002012-03-20T09:36:13.784+00:00Part of my beef is with the notion or representati...Part of my beef is with the <a href="http://psychsciencenotes.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/selection-of-problems-with.html" rel="nofollow">notion or representation</a>, of course, which is still central to people like Barsalou. So I think you could probably study emotion doing 'proper' embodiment, but it will be harder.<br /><br />Ase, did you see that paper I linked to a while back on the extended mind? I reviewed it, it used emotional development as a new paradigm example of cognitive extension where it simply makes no sense to lock all the action up in the head. The <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09515089.2011.633752#preview" rel="nofollow">final version was a very good paper</a>, I thought.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732977871048876430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-64674107442967612942012-03-20T08:54:12.187+00:002012-03-20T08:54:12.187+00:00Well - nomenclature is such an ubiquitous problem ...Well - nomenclature is such an ubiquitous problem in science (man - what made me use such pretentious words?) I immediately thought about the work in social cognition and memory that are moving towards some type of embodiment/groundedness, which includes Barsalou, Niedenthal, Semin and a bunch of neuroscientists I don't remember, that simply would not fit in the above definition of embodiment, but who certainly think that the body is important.<br /><br />(That is not new, though. A bunch of old therapy schools emphasized the importance of the physiological).<br /><br />Where do you draw the line? (Or, are you carving a meatloaf at the joints). That discussion took place in the Zajonc-Lazarus debate between cognition and emotion, for example. <br /><br />I'm also reminded of the recent paper from Joseph LeDoux, where he argues that one should stop talking about emotion - especially when talking about cross-species research, and perhaps replace that with a notion of survival circuits. Keep the research on emotion to humans, where one can assess the subjective experience. It is, after all, a kind of folk psychological (in the general - not the philosofical sense) phenomenon that we have imported to research, and there are lots of problems with how to talk about emotions.<br /><br />At one point (and I love this) he rhetorically askes how we do it, and answers "we are faking it". Not as in falsifying, but as in bootstrapping, and operationally definition, and building our own toothbrushes and all. Which is clearly the case for anybody that has done emotion. But, is also necessary, because you have to start somewhere, so why not start with what you think something is, and see where it breaks down. <br /><br />Leave then the definitional work to the philosophers (they need to do something since us scientists invaded their turf ;) ) <br /><br />I think Andrew's list is interesting, and I keep thinking about these notions in my more "high level" domain (interacting with other humans. Interacting with ones own ideas).Asehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207837776193380053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-1635430723580620602012-03-20T07:23:19.859+00:002012-03-20T07:23:19.859+00:00"As far as I know, cognition does not exist. ..."As far as I <b>know</b>, cognition does not exist. <b>Problem solved</b>." - By cognition ;)Neuroskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647064768789308157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-27589540875314725572012-03-20T02:07:22.193+00:002012-03-20T02:07:22.193+00:00Interestingly, the term 'cognitive' used t...Interestingly, the term 'cognitive' used to be synonymous with 'knowing'. That is, the 'cognitive relation' was the 'knowing relation'. I discovered this while trying to make sense of the Australian Realism (also descended from W. James and Holt). I'm not sure how the term became so bloody general, nor how it became so entwined with modern dualism. Maybe it is time I sucked it up and read "Cognitive Psychology", but I don't know if that would help.Eric Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412168482569793996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-30189644417610946412012-03-19T08:34:02.457+00:002012-03-19T08:34:02.457+00:00As Eric notes below,these terms all overlap, a lot...As Eric notes below,these terms all overlap, a lot. It's another symptom of the problem; more than one cognitive scientist identifying the problem correctly but then giving it their own name. There are some differences, the overlap isn't 100%, but these terms all pull in the same basic direction.<br /><br />I like 'embodiment' because it comes with a <a href="http://psychsciencenotes.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/some-ground-rules-for-theory-of.html" rel="nofollow">research programme</a> (see also Barrett).

The problem is that there are genuine problems that people are interested in when they start talking about 'cognition', questions about why certain things(usually behavioral things) happen in certain places at certain times. Even if you are going to argue that cognition does not exist as the cognitive psychologists has envisioned it, the problems still exist. Whether we still want to call the thing being studied 'cognition' is secondary. <br /><br />Anonymous - These terms are not well distinguished. This is both because the ideas are still solidifying, and because it any definition of the terms are designed with a specific contrast group in mind. I'll bet you it would be hard to get a room full of active researchers to clearly distinguish between 'grounded', 'situated', and 'embodied' cognition. We could also add the words 'embeded' and 'enactive' to the list, among others.Eric Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412168482569793996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192597712746432631.post-50162094583577481212012-03-18T16:18:21.386+00:002012-03-18T16:18:21.386+00:00I don't know enough about embodiment to commen...I don't know enough about embodiment to comment really, but I know that people make distinctions between embodiment and grounded and situated cognition.
