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.
