摘要:The full scope of enactivist approaches to cognition includes not only a focus on sensory - motor contingencies and physical affordances for action, but also an emphasis on affective factors of embodiment and intersubjective a f- fordances for social interaction. This strong conception of embodied cognition calls for a new way to think about the role of the brain in the larger syst em of brain - body - environment. We ask whether recent work on predictive coding offers a way to think about brain function in an enactive system, and we su g- gest that a positive answer is possible if we interpret predictiv e coding in a more enactive way, i.e. , as involved in the organism's dynamic adjustments to its environment.
