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.

Performativity of Materials in Learning: The Learning-Whole in Action
Lucila Carvalho,Pippa Yeoman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the influence of materiality in learning, using an analytical approach that situates learning activity as an emergent process, and argue that in order to successfully design for innovative learning, educators need to develop their capacity to trace the intricate connections between people, ideas, digital and material tools, and tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring Human-Tech Hybridity at the Intersection of Extended Cognition and Distributed Agency: A Focus on Self-Tracking Devices
TL;DR: This work analyzed the experiences of using a WAT and presented a concept referred to as the agency pendulum, reflecting the dynamism of agency, and demonstrated how the EMT and agential intra-action as a combined theoretical lens can be used to explore human-tech hybridity.
Folk Psychology and the Bayesian Brain
TL;DR: The authors argued that folk psychology in this broader sense is compatible with predictive processing, despite the fact that there is an apparent incompatibility between predictive processing and a literalist interpretation of propositional attitude psychology.
Journal ArticleDOI
James Bond and the Barking Dog: Evolution and Extended Cognition*
TL;DR: It is argued that proper appreciation of evolutionary theory should create no expectation that cognitive strategies should exploit the environment, and that this leaves open whether cognitive systems might in fact bear a relationship to the environment that leads to their extension.

The Micro-genesis of Improvisational Co-creation
Michael Kimmel,Dayana Hristova +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors emphasize the vital role that processes of active engagement and interaction play play in creativity research and emphasize the importance of the role of the environment in this process.
