Abstract
It is unlikely that Ballard et al.'s embodiment theory has general app licability to cognition because it is based on experiments that neglec t the importance of meaning, purpose, and learning in cognitive tasks. Limitations of the theory are illustrated with examples from everyday life and the results of recent experiments using cognitive and visuom otor tasks.
