中文摘要：

传统认知心理学认为认知类似于计算机对抽象符号的加工和运算，这种观点支持了身心二元论。但是近年来兴起的具身认知运动却否定了这一观点的合理性。具身认知认为认知是身体与世界互动的结果，是身体的感觉一运动系统作用于世界而塑造出来的。认知是具身的，离不开身体的构造和感觉运动系统的作用。镜像神经元的发现支持了认知的具身特征，为认知的具身性提供了神经生物学的证据。

英文摘要：

Traditional cognitive psychology assumes that cognitive processes are just like symbolic manipulation of a computer. Human brain is nor more than a symbol - manipulating device. This kind of model of human cognition gives support to mind - body dualism. But in recent years ,the view that cognition is embodied is rapidly gaining prominence in the world of psychology. According to proponents of embodied cognition, cognitive processes do not emanate from pure internal processes of abstract symbols, they emerge from the interac- tion of our body and the world. Cognition is embodied, and is not separable from bodily structure and bodily sensory - motor systems. The discovery of mirror neurons give support to the embodiment of cognition, and provide neural biology＇ s evidences for embodied cog- nition.
