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.

Readiness-to-hand, extended cognition, and multifactality
TL;DR: This paper reanalyzes the data using the wavelet transform modulus maxima method, showing that the human-mouse system displays multifractality, which reinforces claims that the system is interaction dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodied appearance properties and subjectivity
TL;DR: This article will offer a novel argument in favor of EC and show that cognition constitutively—and no merely causally—depends upon body activity beyond that in the brain, and endorse the view that experiences concern its subject: the content of experience is de se.
Digital reading: From the reflective self to social machine
Michael A. Peters,Petar Jandrić +1 more
TL;DR: Peters and Wellmon as discussed by the authors discuss the role of reading as a kind of ascent that is transformative, and argue that reading is the basis of transformation in the human mind and that it can be seen as an initiation into a form of life with its own rules.
Book ChapterDOI
Virtue Epistemology and Extended Cognition
TL;DR: For instance, the authors argue that cognitive processes can crisscross the boundaries of brain, body and world, so as to include certain parts of the world which we regularly interact with.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Embodied Reading: A Multisensory Experience.
TL;DR: A preliminary prototype for multisensory narratives and an experimental methodology to measure embodiment in literature are presented, adding sound effects and haptic feedback to allow readers to listen and feel the narrative text.
