Yes, in the embodied cognition view (at least as I understand
   it), the process would be akin to "muscle memory" combined with
   visual clues. So for example, the body and eyes go go into the
   perfect position to make the "jump" in the straightest possible
   line, where only the object gets bigger until captured. It kind
   of blew my mind really when I found it/read about it. The shift
   of perspective is significant; and it's surprising when we
   analyze things like movement, purpose, desire, etc, when we do
   so mathematically or scientifically, we do so from a 3rd person
   persective, always. We take being the "outside observer" for
   granted; it's a deep assumption built in.

   But when instead one takes the 1st person perspective, and THEN
   notices what happens, it rather makes sense, for while launching
   a spacecraft may require a bunch of calculations, being a
   "being" with consciousness and an internal perspective an
   impetus that is *outside* of 3rd party control, affords a
   different possibility, that of the subjective point of view.

   [then again, I could be entirely wrong. But you can see why
   embodied cognition made me jump up and go, "woah... wait...
   yeah... makes sense". The theories in it are utilized primarily
   in CogSci and AI, particularly robotics, for that's where it's
   currently the most useful.]
