One of the main issues in the philosophy of cognitive science is to understand how natural systems represent and manipulate informational content. This chapter focuses on the representational formats that are involved in action cognition, that is, the structures that informational contents can take to guide our actions. Contrary to a common view, I argue that there are different formats by which information can take part in cognition and that this difference in the structure of contents allows relevant cognitive abilities, such as the planning and execution of practical skills, to be accounted for.

Abstract
One of the main issues in the philosophy of cognitive science is to understand how natural systems represent and manipulate informational content. This chapter focuses on the representational formats that are involved in action cognition, that is, the structures that informational contents can take to guide our actions. Contrary to a common view, I argue that there are different formats by which information can take part in cognition and that this difference in the structure of contents allows relevant cognitive abilities, such as the planning and execution of practical skills, to be accounted for.
