- Description
- Exemplifies how the interactive and "enactive" process of reading details of the frame narrative of CT (GP and links between tales) prompts cognition in ways that are analogous to the "distributed cognition" of human sensorimotor operations. Focuses on how the riding styles of individual pilgrims (Knight, Yeoman, Squire, Monk, Summoner, and Host) and the ways they carry artifacts suggest movement, the perception of which is the fundamental operation of the brain.
