figure 6.10 Embodied cognition compared to semantic network In a semantic network model of memory (top panel), people remember experiences by retrieving information from storage in a semantic network. The semantic network is separate from the visual system, which plays no role in remembering the event. In an embodied cognition model (bottom panel), the visual system takes part in both perceiving the original experience and remembering it. People remember the experience by reactivating areas of the visual system that were active when the event originally was seen.
