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.

The philosophy of memory technologies: Metaphysics, knowledge, and values:
Richard Heersmink,J. Adam Carter +1 more
TL;DR: Memory technologies are cultural artifacts that scaffold, transform, and are interwoven with human biological memory systems as discussed by the authors, and the goal of this paper is to provide a systematic and integrative survey of these artifacts.

As perceived, not as known: digital enquiry and the art of intelligence
TL;DR: For example, Heraclitus as mentioned in this paper states that "If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it; for it is hard to be sought out and difficult".

Robots as powerful allies for the study of embodied cognition from the bottom up
Matej Hoffmann,Rolf Pfeifer +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a robotic, bottom-up, or developmental approach, focusing on three stages: low-level behaviors like walking and reflexes, learning regularities in sensorimotor spaces, and human-like cognition, and shows that robots can strongly benefit from human- like cognition in order to become more autonomous, robust, resilient, and safe.
