558 – The Ecological Approach to Cognition: An Introduction

558 Is it true that there is no cognition in the ecological approach to skill? No, of course not. In this episode, I want to start a series of episodes to explain how we can understand cognition (e.g., problem solving, memory, intention, agency, anticipation, decision making, etc) from an ecological viewpoint.Download link Articles:The ecological dynamics…
