How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment--in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies.This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence--"understanding by building"--to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence.

读后感
这本书算不上严肃的人工智能研究，但是有一些轻松的举例，给读者一些启发式思考空间。不过很多细节有点过分凑数，比如后面的wearable computing，感觉不伦不类。另外，很多论证有种感觉很牵强。
评分Josh Bongard与他在Zurich U的老师Rolf Pfeifer合作的一本书，介绍了Embodiment Intelligence的核心思想与这个领域的一系列工作，很多值得思考的讨论。 Rolf Pfeifer前年在sjtu举办的ShanghAI Lectures，与全球多所大学同时举办是Embodiment Intelligence的一个良好介绍 - ht...
评分【书摘】P222 在记忆具身化的概念中，与环境的相互作用占据了中心地位，这对于许多把记忆功能与有意识的回忆及重新检视过去的能力联系在一起的人来说也许是有违直觉的。然而许多研究者已经提出尽管有意识回忆本身很有趣，但是它可能与那些无意识控制下的记忆现象相比罕见得多（...

评分【书摘】P225-226 另一个事实也能证明把记忆任务卸载到环境中这种观点的正确性，那就是识别通常要比回忆更容易一些。认出一个人要比想象出那人的模样容易得多，而且通常情况下判断一个条款是不是出现在曾经看到过的列表中要比回忆起列表中所有的条款更加容易。似乎这样看起来人...
