[PAR] [TLE] Distributed cognition [SEP] Distributed cognition is an approach to cognitive science research that deploys models of the extended mind (see, for example, the paper "The Extended Mind") by taking as the fundamental unit of analysis "a collection of individuals and artifacts and their relations to each other in a particular work practice" .  "DCog" is a specific approach to distributed cognition (distinct from other meanings) which takes a computational perspective towards goal-based activity systems.  Dcog frameworks employed were originally developed in the mid-1980s by Edwin Hutchins, who continues to be the leading pioneer and whose research is based at the University of California at San Diego. [PAR] [TLE] The Extended Mind [SEP] The paper The Extended Mind by Andy Clark and David Chalmers (1998) is a seminal work in the field of extended cognition.  In this paper, Clark and Chalmers present the idea of "active externalism" (similar to semantic or "content" externalism), in which objects within the environment function as a part of the mind.  They argue that it is arbitrary to say that the mind is contained only within the boundaries of the skull.  The separation between the mind, the body, and the environment is seen as an unprincipled distinction.  Because external objects play a significant role in aiding cognitive processes, the mind and the environment act as a "coupled system".  This coupled system can be seen as a complete cognitive system of its own.  In this manner, the mind is extended into the external world.  The main criterion that Clark and Chalmers list for classifying the use of external objects during cognitive tasks as a part of an extended cognitive system is that the external objects must function with the same purpose as the internal processes.
