Document Summary

Language is needed to do (access) mental representation. Perception does not give us direct access to what"s in the world. Replacement is built by bodily interaction with the world; and replaces the need for direct representation. Affordances the ways we can bodily interact with the world; and they should form information and knowledge about our conceptualization of the world. Button box is setup in an up and down format. Mental representation, looking at an object: center up then down. When it"s a high part and yes it up, reaction time is faster than the vice versa. Understand and explain behaviour; and the ability to predict behaviour. Dst says we don"t do a good enough job of doing this. No more stage like development (no more piaget) The risk of contamination is higher in close knit groups; whereas less risk in looser knit groups. Leads to greater levels of tradition, social exclusivity, and outgroup negativity.
