embodied cognition through culture culture is developing through a ritualized symbol lived by individual's embodied experience.

three themes of embodiment. 1 conceptualization; the properties of an organism's body limit or constrain the concepts an organism can acquire. 2 replacement; an organism's body in interaction with its environment replaces the need for representational processes thought to have been at the core of cognition. 3 constitution; the body or world plays a constitutive rather than merely causal role in cognitive processing.

the term 'embodied' highlight two points: 1. the cognition depends upon the kinds of experience that come from having a body with various sensorimotor capacities, 2. these individual sensorimotor capacities are themselves embedded in a more encompassing biological, psychological, and cultural context. the sensory and motor processes, perception and action, are INSEPARABLE in lived cognition.
