The 4E Cognitive Model - Correct Answer Embodied, Embedded, Extended, Enacted
Embodied Cognition (direct perception) - Correct Answer WE obtain information through senses. This
means we do not necessarily need to generate a representation of some knowledge. Perception is

Embedded Cognition - Correct Answer (I think) cognition in response to environmental factors (physical
or sociocultural)
Extended Cognition Theory - Correct Answer The idea that the "software" of the mind can run on

The Indexical Hypothesis - Correct Answer The view that sentences are understood by creating a
simulation of the actions that underlie them
