Distributed cognition

· Outline Distributed cognition is a school of psychology developed in the 1990s by Edwin Hutchins. Using insights from sociology, Ciencia cognitiva, and the psychology of Vygotsky (cf activity theory) it emphasises the social aspects of cognition. Distributed cognition is a branch of cognitive science that proposes that human knowledge and cognition are not confined to the individual. En lugar de, it is distributed by placing memories, facts, or knowledge on the objects, individuals, and tools in our environment. Distributed cognition is a useful approach for (re)designing social aspects of cognition by putting emphasis on the individual and their environment. Distributed cognition views a system as a set of representations, and models the interchange of information between these representations. These representations can be either in the mental space of the participants or external representations available in the environment. References Hutchins, E.
