Good introductory article to a concept (embodiment) that is increasingly referenced in cognitive science – What’s that Thing called Embodiment?: “The term ‘embodiment’ has become progressively more prevalent in what may for simplicities sake be termed the artificial intelligence (AI) literature, as there is a more explicit recognition that interaction with an environment is necessary for intelligent behaviour. In cognitive science, the term is similarly used – as a requirement without which there can be no intelligence. However, what is actually meant by the term varies among it’s users, sometimes to quite a wide extent.”
