Cognition Beyond the Brain: Computation, Interactivity and Human Artifice de Stephen J. Cowley

Cognition Beyond the Brain: Computation, Interactivity and Human Artifice

Editat de Stephen J. Cowley, Frédéric Vallée-Tourangeau
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 apr 2017
This book challenges neurocentrism by advocating a systemic view of cognition based on investigating how action shapes the experience of thinking, placing interactivity at its heart. This systemic viewpoint makes three main claims. First, that many elaborate cognitive skills like language, problem solving and human-computer interaction (HCI) are based in sense-saturated coordination or interactivity. Second, interactivity produces a tightly woven scaffold of resources, some internal to the agent and others external, that elevates and transforms thinking. Third, human agents entwine brains, bodies and their surroundings as they manage multi-scalar dynamics.

This new edition continues to demonstrate how a systemic perspective casts a productive light on thinking in applied domains such as crime scene analysis, the use of information technology in construction, and computer-meditated trusts and presents new studies on the cognitive ecology of the web, multi-scalar temporal and organisational cognition and the importance of interactive material engagement in digital architecture. Authors use various scales of the systemic viewpoint to illustrate how bodies and artefacts shape thinking, but in all cases the experience of materiality is meshed with activity that involves the world beyond the body.
Cognition Beyond the Brain is a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners and graduate students within the fields of Computer Science, Psychology, Linguistics and Cognitive Sciences.

Notă biografică

Stephen J.Cowley is Professor of Organisational Cognition at the University of Southern Denmark. He has developed ways of integrating the study of language, cognition and the sociocultural world and in 2012 he took up his current position in Denmark where he is concerned with how organisations rely on cognitive resources beyond the body. He founded the Distributed Language Group, a community who aims to naturalise language by focusing on how directed, dialogical activity imbues human intelligence with a collective dimension that also makes literacy possible.

Frédéric Vallée-Tourangeau is Professor of Psychology and Director of Postgraduate Research at Kingston University, UK. He holds a BA from McGill University, an MA from the University of Pennsylvania, and a PhD from McGill University. His most recent research explores the role of interactivity in the genesis of insight.

This book challenges neurocentrism by advocating a systemic view of cognition based on investigating how action shapes the experience of thinking, placing interactivity at its heart. This systemic viewpoint makes three main claims. First, that many elaborate cognitive skills like language, problem solving and human-computer interaction (HCI) are based in sense-saturated coordination or interactivity. Second, interactivity produces a tightly woven scaffold of resources, some internal to the agent and others external, that elevates and transforms thinking. Third, human agents entwine brains, bodies and their surroundings as they manage multi-scalar dynamics.
This new edition continues to demonstrate how a systemic perspective casts a productive light on thinking in applied domains such as crime scene analysis, the use of information technology in construction, and computer-meditated trusts and presents new studies on the cognitive ecology of the web, multi-scalar temporaland organisational cognition and the importance of interactive material engagement in digital architecture. Authors use various scales of the systemic viewpoint to illustrate how bodies and artefacts shape thinking, but in all cases the experience of materiality is meshed with activity that involves the world beyond the body.
Cognition Beyond the Brain is a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners and graduate students within the fields of Computer Science, Psychology, Linguistics and Cognitive Sciences.

Recenzii

“Cognition Beyond the Brain: Computation,Interactivity, and Human Artifice, a collection of 14 essays, is a finerepresentation of the current state of the field in distributed cognition—notonly for empirical developments but also for disagreements about how to thinkabout distributed cognition. … I highly recommend this collection of essays tophilosophers and psychologists interested in where distributed cognition is,what it could be, and how it can get from one to the other.” (Charles Lassiter,Philosophical Psychology, Vol. 28 (8), 2015)
“Cognition Beyond the Brain is a collection of works that had its beginnings in a 2009 symposium on ‘distributed thinking’ … building upon presentations from this meeting and incorporating later contributions on the subject. … this book is an excellent reference on the topic. … the chapters of this book do a good job of reflecting the diversity of opinion in this area. … In summary, the book is a valuable resource as an overview on distributed cognition.” (Emma Norling, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, Vol. 17 (1), 2014)
“It offers a wide range of perspectives on the interaction and interdependencies between the human brain and the environment and context in which it exists. It offers an excellent entry point for readers interested in cognitive studies of thebrain … . Overall, we found the book enjoyable to read, and appreciated the editors’ efforts in assembling a well-balanced set of contributions. It provides insight on how cognition may work, and what influences cognition.” (Franz Kurfess and Kevin Dermody, Computing Reviews, December, 2013)
