Research summary
AI-generated

Marta Caravà works at the intersection of philosophy and cognitive science, studying how memory, emotion, and forgetting are shaped by the body, environment, and social context rather than occurring only 'in the head.' Her work draws on 'enactive' and 'extended' theories of cognition, which propose that mental processes like remembering or feeling can extend beyond the brain into bodily actions and surroundings. She also examines topics like affective affordances (how environments invite emotional responses) and how social norms can influence what people forget.
