This Brief introduces two empirically grounded models of situated
mental phenomena: contextual social cognition (the collection of
psychological processes underlying context-dependent social
behavior) and action-language coupling (the integration of
ongoing actions with movement-related verbal information). It
combines behavioral, neuroscientific, and neuropsychiatric
perspectives to forge a novel view of contextual influences on
active, multi-domain processes. Chapters highlight the models'
translational potential for the clinical field by focusing on
diseases compromising social cognition (mainly illustrated by
behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia) and motor skills
(crucially, Parkinson’s disease). A final chapter sets forth
metatheoretical considerations regarding intercognition, the
constant binding of processes triggered by environmental and
body-internal sources, which confers a
