Jakob Hohwy (Monash) The predictive mind and embodied cognition

Abstract: The prediction error minimization framework for explaining mind and cognition is becoming increasingly influential. Some believe it is the perfect partner for notions of embodied cognition, some believe that it is not. I explain the framework's core aspects and chart their consequences for embodied cognition. Some but not all aspects of the framework are anathema to embodied cognition. The predictive mind seems to be beyond the standard representationalism-embodied cognition divide.
