De dentro afuera: musicoterapia entre la Cognición 4E y la improvisación conductiva
Revista de investigación en musicoterapia MiSOSTENiDO June 23, 2026 Ornella Navanzino
A theoretical analysis integrates the 4E Cognition framework—which views cognition as embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended—with conductive improvisation practices used in music therapy. The authors argue that conductive improvisation, guided by gestural conduction and deep listening, can act as an external regulatory system that supports affective co-regulation, reduces anxiety, and strengthens bodily self-awareness. This approach provides clinical scaffolding that fosters intersubjective attunement and shared agency. The integration allows music therapy to be understood as an embodied, enactive, and distributed process where the relational body is central to emotional regulation and stress management.
