'''Embodied embedded cognition''' ('''EEC''') is a [[philosophy|philosophical]] theoretical position in [[cognitive science]], closely related to [[situated cognition]], [[embodied cognition]], [[embodied cognitive science]] and [[dynamical systems theory]]. The theory states that intelligent [[behaviour]] emerges from the interplay between [[brain]], body and world<ref name=EEE1>{{cite web|url=https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/embodied-cognition/|title=Embodied Cognition |date=25 July 2011|publisher=Stanford Encyclopedia}}</ref>. The world is not just the 'play-ground' on which the brain is acting. Rather, brain, body and world are equally important factors in the explanation of how particular intelligent behaviours come about in practice. There are concerns about whether EEC constitutes a novel and substantive approach to cognition or whether it is merely a manifestation of frustration with the classical [[cognitivism (psychology)|cognitivist]] approach{{Citation needed|reason=Who has concerns?
