Cognitive foundations for science assessment design: Knowing what students know about evolution (2012, background): “The final theme guiding our assessment is the finding that novices are much more heavily influenced than experts are by the superficial features of the problem-solving context (Chi et al., 1981; Kirsh, 2009; Nehm & Ridgway, 2011).”
Achieving Alignment of Perspectival Framings in Problem-Solving Discourse (2012, background): “…including those that are attended to and those that are not attended to, and those that are in the foreground and those that are in 1We agree with Kirsh (2009) that analyses of problem solving in cognitive science have neglected important aspects of cognitive framing, and we hope that our…”
Dimensions of mind (2010, background): “Kirsh and Maglio (1994) have dubbed the second class of manipulations “epistemic actions”.”
Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design (2013, background): “The burden of this section is to expand on the idea of thinking with things beyond its usual interpretation as computational off-loading, a topic that I believe has been well covered in discussions of situated cognition [Clark 1997; Kirsh 2009a] and external cognition [Clark 2008; Scaife and Rogers ”
The psychology of memory, extended cognition, and socially distributed remembering (2010, background): “…sciences naturally continues to focus on socially distributed cognition, even when (as often) the reliable and enduring social system is also enmeshed and mutually coordinated with vast and uneven technical assemblages (Hutchins 1995, 2010a, b; Enfield and Levinson 2006; Kirsh 2009; Preston 2010 ).”
Thinking with the Body (2010, unknown): “[Hutchins, 05, Kirsh 09, 10].”
Thinking with external representations (2010, background): “…argument others and I have long advanced is that people interact and create external structure when thinking because: Through interaction it is easier to process more efficiently and more effectively than by working inside the head alone (Clark 2008; Kirsh 1995, 1996, 2009; Kirsh and Maglio 1994).”
