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.

The evolution of misbelief.

TL;DR: A range of potential candidates for evolved misbelief are explored, and it is concluded that, of those surveyed, only positive illusions meet the criteria.
Book ChapterDOI

Understanding context before using it

TL;DR: The goal is to identify the main components of the context on the basis of the analysis of a corpus of 150 definitions coming mainly from the web in different domains of cognitive sciences and close disciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a Foundation of Bricolage in Organization and Management Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual underpinning for the study of bricolage in organizations is provided, based on a review of Claude Levi-Strauss's original writing, and it is shown that the bricoleur involves an ideal-typical configuration of acting (practice), knowing (epistemology) and an underlying world view (metaphysics).

Integrating automatic and controlled processes into neurocognitive models of social cognition

TL;DR: This article describes and provides support for a neural division between reflexive and reflective systems and applies the concept of dual-process models to neural systems in an effort to bridge the gap between many of these behavioral studies and neural systems underlying social perception.
