Cognition : 4E plus 2E extended summary

Clip of John Vervaeke summarising the Four 4E plus two, during an episode of Rebel Wisdom with Jonathan Rowson.

1. Embodiment (cognition involves the biology of the body)
2. Embedded (cognition is between the organism and the environment)
3. Enactive (thinking doesn’t just take place in your head)
4. Extended (cognition is extended through other people and technology)
+
5. Emotional (Cognition shouldn’t be separated from emotion)
6. Exapted (Cognition adapts things)

John Vervaeke talks of two extra Es: emotional and exapted. Some talk of 5E cognition where the fifth E is ecological. So, all combined we might want to call it 7E cognition. The ecological one seems important.
