  Cognitive processes, such as inference, categorization, and memory, are not independent from their physical instantiations. Individuals’ choices, perception, and actions emerge and are dynamically affected and enhanced by the interaction between sensory-motor systems and the inhabited environment that includes the organizational, cultural, and physical context). This interplay brings up instantiations of cognitive behavioural systems.

The above considerations led to the idea to dedicate a special issue of Cognitive Computation to this topic, with the aims to initiate a discussion on what has been achieved to-date and look at future perspectives.
