Reviews
Cognition Beyond the Brain: Computation, Interactivity, and Human Artifice, a collection of 14 essays, is a fine representation of the current state of the field in distributed cognition-not only for empirical developments but also for disagreements about how to think about distributed cognition. ... I highly recommend this collection of essays to philosophers 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 the brain ... . 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)
