How Our Bodies Learn and Why We Should Trust Them

Aperçu
Anthropologist Simon Roberts illustrates how human intelligence encompasses so much more than cognitive reasoning.
Recommendation
Business anthropologist Simon Roberts details how human intelligence includes “embodied” knowledge – something AI has not yet succeeded in replicating. Embodied knowledge derives from the body – through movement, muscle memory, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. It includes experiences that evoke deep sensory memories that permit action without thought and pattern recognition. These embedded memories enable you to feel, rather than merely reason, your way through many decisions. Roberts provides innovative examples of companies making better decisions by pairing data with experiential learning.
