There has long been a tendency to view cognitive functions as belonging to domains other than the motor domain. However, in recent years, the paradigm of embodied cognition has challenged this traditional view, proposing that the mind is not separate from the body but closely interconnected with it. This perspective suggests that cognitive processes emerge from dynamic interactions between the body and the environment and that these processes are influenced by our sensory and motor experiences. Numerous experimental evidence also seems to support this hypothesis with regard to the crucial role of sensorimotor experience in language development, showing how movement and sensory perception are fundamental to language acquisition during infancy.
