The discussion.
"Many researchers treat embodied cognition as the idea that the contents
of these mental states/representations can be influenced by the states
of our bodies."
Does anyone but Leibniz think that the contents of mental states/representations cannot be influenced by the states of our bodies?
Maybe that should read "Many researchers treat embodied cognition as merely the idea ...".

That's more plausible. I think, for example, Shaun Gallagher in his book How the Body Shapes the Mind generally seems to think this. There is, however, about one sentence early on in his book where he does, I think, support the more radical extended cognition idea. But, I don't have the page reference and I can't seem to find it (on a brief perusal).
