Summary
This work explores the theoretical connections between experiential learning and 4E cognition—embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended cognition. It argues that experiential learning aligns with and can be enriched by the principles of 4E cognition, emphasizing how learning is shaped by bodily interactions, environmental contexts, and active engagement. The paper synthesizes concepts from both frameworks to propose a more integrated understanding of learning processes.
