Introduction to the special issue on 4E cognition (2010, background): “Clark (2008) thinks that there are limitations to the embodied approach to cognition (2008, p. 204–205).”
Human nature and cognitive–developmental niche construction (2010, background): “(Clark 2008, xxviii) One extended cognition argument derives from Clark and Chalmers’s ‘spread of epistemic credit’, modulated into Wheeler and Clark’s argument of ‘causal spread’, which ‘obtains when some phenomenon of interest turns out to depend, in some unexpected ways, on some causal factors…”
The extended body: a case study in the neurophenomenology of social interaction (2012, neutral): “Finally, given the continuing prominence in cognitive science of the debate regarding the extended mind (Clark 2008), it is useful to give a brief indication of how our proposal of the extended body relates to this trend.”
Minds: extended or scaffolded? (2010, background): “Clark resists using persistence as a criterion which distinguishes external cognitive components from mere environmental resources (Clark 2007, 2008).”
Strong systematicity through sensorimotor conceptual grounding: an unsupervised, developmental approach to connectionist sentence processing (2012, background): “…structure from no more than a large corpus of ungrounded symbolic instances (e.g. Van der Velde 2004; Frank 2006; Farkaš and Crocker 2008), others (e.g. Howell et al. 2005) have approached the problem from the perspective of symbol grounding (Harnad 1990) and embodied cognition (e.g. Clark 2008).”
Seeing subjectivity: defending a perceptual account of other minds (2012, methodology): “15 To this extent, our account overlaps somewhat with the so-called “extended mind thesis” (cf. Clark and Chalmers 1998; Clark 2008; Menary 2007; Rowlands 2010). then, as if we think Jacob’s characterization of the first horn of the dilemma is on the right lines.”
The Extended iSelf: The Impact of iPhone Separation on Cognition, Emotion, and Physiology (2015, background): “In addition, Clark (2008) discusses extension of self, termed " embodiment.”
Thinking in Words: Language as an Embodied Medium of Thought (2014, methodology): “The general idea is that, when an individual acquires a natural language, she acquires a symbol system that has different computational properties than the embodied codes that exist independently of language (Clark, 2008).”
The evolved apprentice. How evolution made humans unique (2012, neutral): “(Clark 2008).”
How to Entrain Your Evil Demon (2017, background): “The alternative is a model that sees mind as non-representational, extended, situated, embodied or enactive (Hurley 1998; Noë 2004; Gallagher 2005; Thompson 2007; Clark 2008; Hutto and Myin 2013).”
How to Knit Your Own Markov Blanket (2017, background): “The suggestion seems to be that the real internalist commitment is not to cognitive processing being in some important sense ‘brain-bound’ (in the sense of Clark 2008).”
Scaffoldings of the affective mind (2015, background): “The literature on ExM has also been concerned primarily with cognition (e.g., Clark, 2008; Menary, 2010b; Rowlands, 2008), with some recent exceptions (Colombetti & Roberts, 2014; Krueger, 2014; Stephan, Walter, & Wilutzky, 2014).”
