13. Distinct elements and pathological disunity

The unity of embodied experience is constituted by elements and systems that are conceptually distinct and that can come apart in pathological cases.

  • body schema (locomotive, instrumental movement)
  • body image (perceptual, affective, conceptual)
  • sensory-motor aspects (vestibular, proprioceptive, motoric)
  • communicative aspects (semantic, pragmatic, intersubjective)

    •  Various aspects of action, communication, or cognition can become problematic when aspects of embodiment fail.

  • Neglect
  • Deafferentation
