#168 — Mind, Space, & Motion

Sam Harris speaks with Barbara Tversky about how our senses of
space and motion underlie our capacity for thought. They discuss
the evolution of mind prior to language, the importance of
imitation and gesture, the sensory and motor homunculi, the
information communicated by motion, the role of “mirror neurons,”
sense of direction, natural and unnatural categories, cognitive
trade-offs, and other topics.
