    Embodied Education: A Convergence of Phenomenological Pedagogy and Embodiment

    In this article we argue for the necessity of a new double alliance be- tween phenomenology and cognitive sciences (through embodied theory) on the one hand, and between phenomenological pedagogy and the embodiment paradigm on the other. We strongly believe that phenomenological pedagogy should enter into dialogue with the cognitive sciences movement called “Em- bodiment” in order to renew its educational theories and practices. Indeed, the new suggestions about the mind that come from the embodiment paradigm can already have a huge impact on learning and education, but a relatively structured “pedagogy of consciousness” is still missing. This topic will be dis- cussed with a special focus on body and embodied consciousness, which nicely brings together these different traditions. Finally, an actual example of how the embodiment paradigm and phenomenological pedagogy can converge will be presented through the practice of meditative experience

    Interocular transfer of visual discriminations in Wulst-ablated pigeons.

    Interocular transfer (IOT) of monocularly learned pattern, brightness and color discriminations was studied in normal pigeons and in pigeons with a bilateral ablation of the visual Wulst. No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of both rate of monocular learning and degree of IOT. Pigeons with a Wulst ablation which had shown a normal capacity for IOT, subsequently lost this capacity following a section of the supra-optic decussation (DSO). It is concluded that IOT in pigeons does not require the presence of the binocular neurons of the visual Wulst, and that in absence of this structure, IOT must rely on other centers for binocular interaction which receive fibers from the DSO
