Enactment Theory

Enactment theory suggests that people's actions create structures and events, forming an enacted environment. This environment is a map of if-then assertions where actions lead to outcomes. The theory involves focusing on stimuli based on preconceived notions from past experiences, which guide actions to reinforce these notions. This process links cognitive processes with the environment, showing how preconceptions shape it.
