Abstract
Introduces a series of articles in the current issue of the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology that focuses on embodied cognition. Embodied cognition is the role of sensorimotor processes in cognition. In organizing the Past-President's Symposium at the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science's annual meeting, the outgoing past-president chose embodied cognition as the focus, and invited a proponent of the embodied position as well as one of the abstract position to present their views. The material from the symposium was used to create this series of articles.
