Supersizing the Mind (2008, unknown): “It individuates certain circumstances under which thinking and thoughts (or better, the material vehicles that realize thinking and thoughts) are spatiotemporally distributed over brain, body and world, in “a such a way that the external (beyond-the-skin) factors concerned are rightly accorded fully”
Human nature and cognitive–developmental niche construction (2010, background): “…further by Clark and others (Clark and Chalmers 1998; Clark 1997, 2003, 2008; Menary 2007; Rowlands 2009; Sterelny 2004; Wheeler 2005; Wilson 2004; Wilson and Clark 2009): Maximally opposed to BRAINBOUND (Clark’s label for methodological solipsism) is a view according to which thinking and…”
Extending the extended mind: the case for extended affectivity (2015, background): “…as mental more generally), and extended systems composed of internal-plus-external processes—in other words, it requires functional integration between inner and outer, such that the resulting system does something that we are inclined to identify as cognitive or mental (see Wilson and Clark 2010).”
The narrative self, distributed memory, and evocative objects (2018, background): “Further developing complementarity-based extended mind theory, Heersmink (2015) proposes a multidimensional framework to conceptualize the degree of cognitive integration between agents and artifacts (see also Wilson and Clark 2009; Sterelny 2010; Sutton et al. 2010).”
Collective Memory from a Psychological Perspective (2009, background): “Vygotsky and has found expression in studies of situated cognition (Ayede and Robbins 2008), distributed learning (Lea and Nicoll 2002), and socio-historical approaches (Fivush and Nelson 2004), as well as those adopting the philosophical label of extended mind (Clark and Chalmers 1998; Wilson and ”
Exploring new dimensions of mathematics-related affect: embodied and social theories (2012, background): “It is problematic to define borders for autopoietic entities (Clark and Chalmers 1998 ; Wilson and Clark 2009 ; Froese and Stewart 2010 ; Virgo, Egbert and Froese 2011).”
The evolved apprentice. How evolution made humans unique (2012, background): “…and world in such a way that the external (beyondthe-skin) factors concerned are rightly accorded fully-paid-up cognitive status” (Wheeler 2010, p. 245), and cognitive systems are taken “as reaching beyond individuals into their physical and social environments” (Wilson and Clark (2009), p.58).”
The psychology of memory, extended cognition, and socially distributed remembering (2010, background): “At other times, they involve more stable and permanent relationships between biological agents and extended cognitive resources " (Wilson and Clark 2009, p. 64).”
Scaffoldings of the affective mind (2015, background): “[2] Menary (2010a), Sutton (2006), and Wilson and Clark (2009) identify further dimensions of situated cognition that could also be applied to affectivity.”
