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
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 biocognitive spectrum : biological cognition as variations on sensorimotor coordination
TL;DR: Van Duijns dissertatie is that the fylogenetische basis of biocognitie ligt in sensorimotor coordininatie: het vermogen van organismen om zich voort te bewegen and zich orienteren in hun omgeving om zo de externe factoren voor hun metabolisme te optimaliseren.

Tool innovation may be a critical limiting step for the establishment of a rich tool-using culture: a perspective from child development.
TL;DR: This work suggests that a tool-rich culture may be more reliant on social learning and more limited by domain-general constraints such as ill-structured problem solving than otherwise thought.
Toward an aesthetic epistemology: Transforming thinking through cybernetic epistemology and anthroposophy
TL;DR: The authors argue that the new epistemology needs to be recursive and process-oriented, which means that the thoughts about thinking that it produces must explicitly follow the patterns of thinking by which those thoughts are generated, requiring the development of a reflexivity in thinking that recursively links across two levels of order.
Socializing Medical Practice: A Normative Model of Medical Decision-Making
TL;DR: It is argued that performing the medical reflective equilibrium procedure adequately requires multiple participants in decision-making, and it is concluded that medical choices are and should be social.

How does thinking relate to tool making
TL;DR: It is argued that archaeologists who study lithic artefacts and their transformations over the course of human evolution are uniquely well positioned to contribute to the ongoing debate about the marks of the mental.
