History of Distributed Cognition

In this lecture I will explain the historical development of group ideas and the revival of ideas in modern spiritual philosophy and cognitive science. I will first discuss how the concept of group thought becomes a part of social imagination. Then I decided to consider the way this idea appeared in different periods. In particular, I focused on social scientists in the 19th and 20th centuries who tried to understand the world of society by attracting group ideas. Considering the short history of this idea, I turned to the contemporary discussion about group thinking. I confirmed three developments in the philosophy of opening up the path to the revival of group thinking and discussed recent research on group cognition and group agency.

The idea of ​​the group from the late 19th century to the early 20th century was developed against specific political and social turmoil (industrial revolution, the rise of Fascist totalitarian, etc.). Are there political, economic and social problems motivating the idea of ​​returning to today's group thinking?

If the group is conscious and able to take action in the world, are they responsible for their actions?

Assuming that methodological collectivism (horrorism) is true, will this make the unacceptable ontology a "transcend" group of its members?

More interpersonal relationships and personalization. The cognitive system can use all available data - network interactions, transaction history, sensor data for wearable technology - for personalization and human interaction. The cognitive system "finds the true importance of charm.These participation can provide higher value and more natural, more predictive and emotional through ongoing learning." Enhanced expertise and knowledge processing. By using the cognitive system, humans will be able to keep up with the explosive growth of data and knowledge being created. The cognitive system is a constant correspondence partner that helps experts quickly access and process the latest information and knowledge and make the best decisions. This ability is useful for various fields such as medicine, law, customer service.

Distributed cognition is at the intersection of psychology, sociology, and cognitive science. Essentially, thinking about knowledge and knowledge is performed through tools, situations, other people, and biographies. It is derived from a study of an anthropologist Edwin Hutchins in the 1990's navigating a naval aircraft carrier. His work in understanding natural situational awareness led to the conclusion that cognition is distributed in society. His work is not to find individual knowledge structures, but to show cognitive activities or to know what to do, a positioning process influenced by others, tools and situations.
