Abstract

While there is increasing recognition of how relations of embodiment can be exploited for achievement of cognitive goals, we still lack any general method for formalizing the benefits that are then obtained, or for quantifying them. The present article describes a method that can be used to calculate the informational benefit obtained when embodiment becomes a vehicle for generation of â聙聵â聙聵good data,â聙聶â聙聶 that is, data exhibiting behaviorally salient correlations.
