They drop the part about few and specialized components. They also drop the specialized stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539727534751588479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718931137844429374.post-67025477608055213422010-11-05T08:37:37.602-05:002010-11-05T08:37:37.602-05:00The reference is great.

Andy Clark sent me a paper ages ago about how the structure of the hand implements some of the suggested computations required to control the hand; a nice example of literal embodied cognition. I cannot, however, find this paper for the life of me - I will keep looking (it exists, I promise!)<br /><br />I'll guess this isn't the kind of thing you're looking for, though. Given you like your psychology experimental, maybe this will help?<br /><br />Zhu & Bingham (2010) Learning To Perceive the Affordance for Long-Distance Throwing: Smart Mechanism or Function Learning?
