"In this video, we delve into the critical intersections of mental and environmental health, exploring a new framework for understanding cognition through the lens of navigability. We'll discuss the importance of defining cognition across diverse realms—from forests to AI—and elaborate on how pre-reflective and reflective cognition shape our interactions with various landscapes. The video also addresses the potential applications of this framework in improving mental and environmental health, societal organization, and technology. Join us as we investigate the nuances and implications of this multi-dimensional approach to cognition." 00:00 Introduction to Mental and Environmental Health 00:38 Defining Cognition Through Navigability 01:45 Cognition in Different Realms and Landscapes 03:42 Common Definition and Assessment of Cognition 05:04 Affordance Vector and Cognitive Assessment 11:37 Implications and Practical Applications 13:33 Future Directions and Community Engagement #research #diary #navigability #waymaking #andreahiott
