Networks of the Brain
TL;DR: Models of Network Growth All networks, whether they are social, technological, or biological, are the result of a growth process, and many continue to grow for prolonged periods of time, continually modifying their connectivity structure throughout their entire existence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thinking with external representations
TL;DR: Seven ways external representations enhance cognitive power are discussed: they change the cost structure of the inferential landscape; they provide a structure that can serve as a shareable object of thought; they facilitate re-representation; they are often a more natural representation of structure than mental representations; and they lower the cost of controlling thought—they help coordinate thought.

Organizing Thoughts and Connecting Brains: Material Practices and the Transition from Individual to Group-Level Prospective Sensemaking
Ileana Stigliani,Davide Ravasi +1 more
TL;DR: This paper developed a process model that accounts for the interplay between conversational and material practices in the transition from individual to group-level sensemaking, and unpack how the materialization of cognitive work supports the collective construction of new shared understandings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design
TL;DR: The theory of embodied cognition can provide HCI practitioners and theorists with new ideas about interaction and new principles for better designs, and these ideas have major implications for interaction design, especially the design of tangible, physical, context aware, and telepresence systems.

Minds - Extended or Scaffolded
Kim Sterelny,Kim Sterelny +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that extended mind cases are limiting cases of environmental scaffolding, and while the extended mind picture is not false, the niche construction model is a more helpful framework for understanding human action.

Culture, embodiment and genes: unravelling the triple helix
Michael Wheeler,Andrew G. Clark +1 more
TL;DR: This mismatch between biological and cultural evolution and embodied cognition is explored by focusing on three key ideas: cognitive niche construction; cognitive modularity; and the existence (or otherwise) of an evolved universal human nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sociality and the life–mind continuity thesis
Tom Froese,Ezequiel A. Di Paolo +1 more
TL;DR: The life-mind continuity thesis holds that mind is prefigured in life and that mind belongs to life as discussed by the authors, and the cognitive attitude characteristic of adult human beings is essentially intersubjectively constituted, in particular with respect to the possibility of perceiving objects as detached from our own immediate concerns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The many faces of precision (Replies to commentaries on "Whatever next? Neural prediction, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science").
TL;DR: An appreciation of the many roles of “precision-weighting” (upping the gain on select populations of prediction error units) opens the door to better accounts of planning and “offline simulation,” makes suggestive contact with large bodies of work on embodied and situated cognition, and offers new perspectives on the “active brain”.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhythms of the body, rhythms of the brain: Respiration, neural oscillations, and embodied cognition.
Somogy Varga,Detlef H. Heck +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that respiration sometimes plays a double, pragmatic and epistemic, role, which reduces the cognitive load in such cases, consistent with EC, the overall cognitive activity includes a loop-like interaction between neural and non-neural elements.

A Taxonomy of Cognitive Artifacts: Function, Information, and Categories
TL;DR: The proposed taxonomy is an important first step towards a better understanding of the range and variety of cognitive artifacts and is a helpful point of departure, both for conceptualizing how different artifacts augment or impair cognitive performance and how they transform and are integrated into the cognitive system and practices.
