Abstract

My commentary is based on three matters derived from Ignacio Pozo’s article. First, I present my defence of the cognitive research that Pozo criticizes and characterizes as methodologically aseptic and disembodied. Second, I discuss my doubts regarding the author’s arguments on external representations overcoming the limitations of embodied cognition. Third, I examine the neuroscience perspective in order to clarify the representational debate.

Resumen

Mi comentario reflexiona sobre tres temas derivados del artículo de Ignacio Pozo. Primero, mi defensa de la investigación cognitiva que Pozo critica, al considerarla metodológicamente aséptica y descorporeizada. Segundo, mis dudas sobre los argumentos del autor sobre las representaciones externas como superación de las limitaciones de la cognición corpórea. Tercero, la inclusión de la perspectiva de la neurociencia para aclarar el debate representacional.
