COGNITIVE IMPLICATIONS OF TACTILE-KINESTHETIC
EXPERIENCE AND INVARIANTS
Reply to Lemmen on Evolution-Thinking

Abstract

Three major questions raised in Lemmen's (1994) review are addressed: the question of experience -- what is necessary for it and which creatures have it; the question of analogical apperception and transfer of sense -- how it is achieved, as in our understanding of others, for example; and the relationship between corporeal representation and natural meanings.
