Examples of The Value of Embodied Approach
The value of the embodiment approach in the context of cognitive science is perhaps best understood by Andy Clark. He makes the claim that the brain alone should not be the single focus for the scientific study of cognition

This great law is embodied in the conception of truth and reality. The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
