Using cognitive artifacts to understand distributed cognition

SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483), 2004
Studies of patient safety have identified gaps in current work including the need for research about communication and information sharing among healthcare providers. They have also encouraged the use of decision support tools to improve human performance.

Cognition Distributed

2008
Our species has been a maker and user of tools for over two million years, but "cognitive technology" began with language. Cognition is thinking, and thinking has been "distributed" for at least the two hundred millennia that we have been using speech to interact and collaborate, allowing us to do collectively far more than any of us could have done ...

Philosophical Psychology, 2013
We historically and conceptually situate distributed cognition by drawing attention to important similarities in assumptions and methods with those of American “functional psychology” as it emerged...

Distributed Cognition without Distributed Knowing

Social Epistemology, 2007
In earlier works, I have argued that it is useful to think of much scientific activity, particularly in experimental sciences, as involving the operation of distributed cognitive systems, as these are understood in the contemporary cognitive sciences. Introducing a notion of distributed cognition, however, invites consideration of whether, or in what ...

Against `Distributed Cognition'

Theory, Culture & Society, 2008
Since its origination in psychology, cognitive theory has been articulated in a number of social science disciplines, most notably anthropology and sociology, It has also been important in shaping the intellectual landscape of emerging disciplines associated with the design of computer systems, human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer supported ...

Evaluating distributed cognition

Synthese, 2013
Human beings are promiscuously social creatures, and contemporary epistemologists are increasingly becoming aware that this shapes the ways in which humans process information. This awareness has tended to restrict itself, however, to testimony amongst isolated dyads.

Theories of the extended mind or extended cognition have been among the most widely reflected and studied concepts in philosophy since the late 1990s. In the last few years, they have gained in importance and interest with the development of artificial intelligence.

This chapter discusses cognitive functions with a largely distributed neural basis within the framework of contemporary cognitive neuroscience. The following are described: arousal/attention, memory (short-term, or working memory; episodic memory; semantic memory; and implicit memory), and higher-order cognitive function such as planning, problem ...

Consciousness And Distributed Cognition

2008
The study of individual consciousness has again become academically acceptable, following nearly a century of ideologically-enforced silence on the topic, the ’dark night of behaviorism’, as it were. Late 19th Century studies, summarized by William James (1890), have been revived, reinterpreted, and reinvigorated by quite a number of researchers ...

Distributed cognition, dementia, and technology

2015
The devastating effects of dementia result from cognitive degradation, in particular, working-memory (short-term memory) and planning processes. In supporting people with dementia, carers must take over these cognitive functions on behalf of the other person. This is an exhausting job. Technology may be able to offer assistance here.
