Two ways of grounding the discussion on extended cognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We question two of the basic foundations of the Extended Mind hypothesis originally formulated by Clark and Chalmers, i.e. that all cognition is organism centered and that the important theoretical issues that the debate surrounding the Extended Mind hypothesis can fruitfully be resolved by to a large extent rely on invented examples of cognitive activities as the empirical foundation. We suggest that one way to proceed is to frame the hypothesis within the larger theoretical framework of activity theory, and another is to conduct extensive field studies of extended cognitive processes. We illustrate our position with examples of how these can be used to reformulate some of the aspects of the Extended Mind hypothesis.

Impact of Ocean-Land Mixed Propagation Path on Equivalent Circuit of Grounding Rods
In this paper, the effect of ocean-land mixed propagation path on the lightning performance of grounding rods is investigated. This effect is focused on two problems. The first is extracting exact equivalent circuit of grounding rods in the presence of oceans. The equivalent circuit can be used in transient analysis of power systems in the neighboring oceans. In the second one, this effect on t...

The article presents the transients analysis of the substation grounding systems and transmission line tower footing resistances which can affect to the back-flashover (BF) or overvoltage across insulator chain in an HV power systems by using EMTP-RV software. The related transient modeling of the grounding systems is based on a transmission line (TL) model with considering the soil ionization....
متن کاملCorrelation Between Model-based Approximations of Grounding-related Cognition and User Judgments
As spoken dialog systems become more complex, efficient ways to evaluate them in early development stages are required. User simulation has been successfully used for this purpose. While current user models describe behavior on the level of overt behavior, modeling aspects of cognition can reveal direct insights into usability problems. Thus, in this paper we propose two models related to groun...
متن کاملWhat is the extension of the extended mind?
Two aspects of cognitive coupling, as brought forward in the Extended Mind Hypothesis, are discussed in this paper: (1) how shall the functional coupling between the organism and some entity in his environment be spelled out in detail? (2) What are the paradigmatic external entities to enter into that coupling? These two related questions are best answered in the light of an aetiological variet...

In the 1980s, a lot of ink was spent on the question of symbol grounding, largely triggered by Searle’s Chinese room theory (Searle 1980). Searle’s article had the advantage of stirring up discussion about when and how symbols could be about things in the world, whether intelligence involves representations or not, what embodiment means, and under what conditions cognition is embodied. But almo...
