In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the search for scientific evidence on the new paradigm of dynamic cognition, but the vast majority of publications have been based on quantitative designs, evidencing the need to complement research with qualitative designs. This manuscript aims to assess the quantity and quality of scientific publications based on qualitative research designs in the area of dynamic theories of cognition or third-generation cognitive theories. These theories propose that cognition is an embodied, extended, situated, and enactive phenomenon. A documentary analysis was carried out in the main international databases on scientific articles with qualitative design. Fourteen articles were selected that fully met the inclusion criteria and responded to the objective of the literature review. Although qualitative research in this field is scarce compared to quantitative research, the potential of these designs is observed in the study of dynamic cognitive theories in different fields: psychology, health, functioning and disability, education, physical activity and sport, art, linguistics, philosophy of mind, among others. The results and conclusions of the research reviewed provide theoretical support for embodied, enactive, extended, and situated cognition, and support the object of study of emerging cognitive sciences: “the brain/body-in-the-world system.”

Palabras clave : cognitive psychology; embodied cognition; bibliographic review; qualitative research.
