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.

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

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.

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

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.

THE COGNITIVE SCIENCE OF IMMEDIATE INTERACTIVE BEHAVIOR or WHY MILLISECONDS MATTER FOR REALITY-BASED INTERFACES

TL;DR: Reality-based interaction promises to tremendously expand the type of interactive behavior supported by computer systems [17]. But care must be taken lest reality-based techniques become a trendy replacement of older interactive techniques, not a concomitant of good design as discussed by the authors.

Explaining enculturated cognition

TL;DR: It is argued that the authors need distinct, yet complementary levels of explanation and corresponding temporal scales to account for the complexity of enculturation.

TL;DR: The book as mentioned in this paper falls into that burgeoning category of work that is attempting to compose a picture of the world auto-ethnographically, to write from the first-person perspective, with a fullness and a faithfulness to lived experience.

Using a Cognitive Architecture to Control the Behaviour of Virtual Robots.

TL;DR: An integration solution is proposed that enables ACT-R cognitive models to communicate with the Unity game engine and is tested using virtual robots that are able to move around a 3D virtual environment and interact with various objects.

Enkinaesthesia and the Deep Roots of Morality

Susan Stuart
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the capacity for enkinaesthetic dialogue is an a priori nomological condition for agency and the generation of a felt anticipatory dynamics both within and between agents.
