Clash

Ironically I cannot make the reading group this week because there is a clash with an ICN seminar on 'synaesthesia for finger counting and dice patterns' - three different aspects of representation of abstract concepts. There was no mention in Carey's summary of the paper that referred to embodied cognition I think (can't figure out how to look at the rest of the blog while doing this). I'm hoping to find out about the use of fingers and patterns as mediating technologies for coming to an understanding of number - and the role of synasethesia in that - and would like to see this being able to fit into that schema somewhere. Will report back after the seminar.
