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
