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.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Impact of Physical Navigation on Spatial Organization for Sensemaking

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that these two approaches to providing sensemaking space are not equivalent, and that the greater embodiment afforded by the physical workspace changes how the space is perceived and used, leading to increased externalization of the sensemaking process.
Journal ArticleDOI

AlphaGo, Locked Strategies, and Eco-Cognitive Openness

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the locked and unlocked cognitive strategies of deep learning programs and argue that these differences lead to important consequences when analyzing computational AI programs, such as AlphaGo, which aim at performing various kinds of abductive hypothetical reasoning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-visioning clinical reasoning, or stepping out from the skull

TL;DR: An ‘ecological perception’ or ‘externalistic’ model provides a counter to the current dominant paradigm of ‘ego-logical’ cognitive reasoning – the latter abstracted from context and located inside the skull.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking the problem of cognition

TL;DR: It is argued that if the authors had an ecumenical solution to the problem of cognition, they would have achieved much of what they should want from a “mark of the cognitive”, and recommended an alternative criterion of success, ecumenicals extensional adequacy.
