Situated Cognition and Cognitive Style

The Journal of Experimental Education, 1996
AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to replicate and extend an earlier study that examined the effectiveness of an instructional method based on the tenets of situated cognition. The findings of an earlier study indicated that students who learned to read maps by this method did better on a performance assessment of map skills than, and ...

Socially Situated Cognition in Perspective

Social Cognition, 2013
In 2004, we (Smith & Semin, 2004) described a conceptual framework of “socially situated cognition,” encompassing four major themes. Cognition is for adaptive action, involves the body and sensori-motor systems, is situated in immediate intercourse with the environment, and is distributed across other minds and tools.

Tool use as situated cognition

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2012
AbstractVaesen disregards a plausible alternative to his position, and so fails to offer a compelling argument for unique cognitive mechanisms. We suggest an ecological alternative, according to which divergent relationships between organism and environment, not exotic neuroanatomy, are responsible for unique cognitive capacities.

Obstacles to Understanding Cognition as Situated

Educational Researcher, 1998
Greeno (1997) argued that these are misreadings of situative positions, occasioned by paradigmatic differences in presupposition and language: "In discussions of the situative and cognitive perspectives, proponents of the two sides tend to talk and write past each other because they address different questions" (pp. 5-6).

Constructive cognition in a situated background

International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 1998
In the present commentary, situatedness, or context dependence is seen as a general principle of human knowledge and activities, and cognition is a constructive process taking place in a situated background. We contend that a “constructive cognition” model would encompass situatedness, regardless of the paradigm in use for its implementation and that ...

Situated Cognition and Cognitive Apprenticeship Learning

2020
This chapter presents approaches to situated cognition and cognitive apprenticeship learning. It pertains to “learning science”, as it is a theory that explains the way learning happens in the context of learners working together with a specialist, master or coach, in an environment.

The cognitive and immersive situations room

XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students, 2017
Cognitive environments with "eyes," "ears," "mind," "mouth," and "hands" will converse with people, understand group dynamics, present stories, and augment group intelligence, enabling humans and computers to accomplish things neither could do alone.

A framework for cognitive situation control

2017 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA), 2017
The emergence of a new class of complex applications in bio-medical and health-care systems, intelligent transportation, disaster situation management systems and others, has defined new requirements to the methods of control of these systems. Central to those applications is the requirement to understand the meaning of complex situations happening in ...

Operationalizing situated cognition and learning

Cognitive Systems Research, 2002
Vera and Simon [Cognitive Science, 17 (1993) 117] complain that the situational approach to cognition is insufficiently operationalized. This paper presents an interpreted system of diagrams that permit descriptions of tasks in both symbolic and situative terms, allowing differences to be operationally defined.

At the cognitive and situational interface

Translation Spaces, 2016
Characteristics such as interdisciplinarity and dynamism make both written medical communication and medical translation particularly complex. In order to address this complexity, researchers need to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective (involving discourse analysis, sociology of professions, knowledge communication, etc.) and to approach the ...
