From the perspective of the second generation of cognitive science, based on the embodied cognition theory, the author carried out an embodied examination on the process of scientific acquisition of sports skills. The results indicate the followings: sports skill learning and formation are embodied, not simple procedures of the brain, but a complex dynamic system, i.e. a dynamic system of the integration of the brain–the body–the environment, having such characteristics as integral, nonlinear, dynamic, emergent and generative etc. In the mean time, some “difficult issues” in the process of sports skill formation can be reinterpreted through the view of embodiment of sports skills, thus expands new approaches to modern sports skill scientific research are expanded. Key words: sports skill;complex dynamic mode;embodied cognition;the second generation of cognitive science |
