Enaction, imagination, and insight (2007, background): “This strategy worked well because the language that classical cognitive science had used to describe internal cognitive processes turned out to be perfectly suited to describing external cognitive processes.”
Cognitive Offloading. (2016, methodology): “For example, we use our eyes to index locations in space [22], we use our fingers, point, or nod our head to mark positions in sequential tasks [12,23], we move our hands to externalize thoughts [11,24,25] and to simulate spatial transformations [13], and we move or shift our body to simplify percep”
Coordinating visualizations of polysemous action: values added for grounding proportion (2014, background): “…is mediated to novices socioculturally through vicarious or direct participation in the enactment of historically evolved, goal-oriented collaborative practices for managing resources in shared perceptual fields (Alač and Hutchins 2004; Goodwin 1994; Jay 1988; Rogoff 1990; Stevens and Hall 1998).”
