Over the past twenty years several claims about human cognition have been made. Extended: cognitive states and processes can extend beyond the boundaries of the organism (e.g. notes for memory). Enactive: dependent on aspects of the activity of the organism. Embodied: cognitive properties and performances can crucially depend on facts about our embodiment. Embedded: cognitive properties and performances can crucially depend on facts about our relationship to the surrounding environment. Affective: our cognition is intimately dependent upon the value of the object of cognition. Ward & Stapleton, Cognition as enacted, embodied, embedded, affective and extended.
