Overview
This article sets the stage for a debate, played out in two subsequent articles in this issue by Glenberg and by Mahon, regarding the role of embodied conceptual representations in cognitive operations such as language understanding and object identification. On an embodied view of cognition, championed by Glenberg, conceptual knowledge and thought are necessarily grounded in sensorimotor representations. The contrary position, advocated by Mahon, is that symbolic thought is the foundation for cognition and is independent of such representations, although it may coincidentally evoke them. I review a few of the many available demonstrations showing that cognition is influenced by sensorimotor representations. Then, taking Mahon's perspective, I illustrate how examples from various classes of these demonstrations can be explained by mechanisms other than embodiment of conceptual representations. I close with an example of what can be taken as evidence for the representation of a behavioural goal that is abstract in the sense that it is not coded directly as an embodied action. Cet article ouvre la porte à un débat, mené dans deux articles subséquents du présent numéro par Glenberg et Mahon, traitant du rôle des représentations conceptuelles incarnées dans les opérations cognitives telles la compréhension du langage et l'identification d'objets. Dans une perspective incarnée de la cognition, avancée par Glenberg, les connaissances et pensées conceptuelles sont obligatoirement ancrées dans les représentations sensorimotrices. La position contraire, défendue par Mahon, stipule que la pensée symbolique est à la base de la cognition et indépendante de telles représentations, bien qu'elles puissent, par pure coincidence, les évoquer. J'examine une sélection des nombreuses démonstrations disponibles illustrant que la cognition est influencée par les représentations sensorimotrices. Ensuite, en utilisant la perspective de Mahon, je montre comment des exemples de diverses classes de ces représentations s'expliquent par des mécanismes autres que l'incarnation de représentations conceptuelles. Je conclus avec un exemple de ce qui pourrait être considéré comme preuve pour la représentation d'un but comportemental qui est abstrait dans le sens où il n'est pas codé directement comme une action incarnée.
