Hutchins' conducted a detailed study of navigation on an amphibious helicopter transport and found that the navigation task is distributed across a sociocultural cognitive system that imong included a Navigator, an Assistant to the Navigator, a Navigation Plotter, a Recorder and two Pelorus Operators who took sightings of landmarks.
Hutchins has recently extended this sort of analysis to how speeds are remembered in the cockpit of a commercial airliner.
Hutchins' example suggests that many of the functions normally associated with mind are distributed outside the brain.

Edwin Hutchins combines his background as an anthropologist and an open ocean racing sailor and navigator in this account of how anthropological methods can be combined with cognitive theory to produce a new reading of cognitive science.
His theoretical insights are grounded in an extended analysis of ship navigation - its computational basis, its historical roots, its social organization, and the details of its implementation in actual practice aboard large ships.

Edwin Hutchins combines his background as an anthropologist and an open ocean racing sailor and navigator in this account of how anthropological methods can be combined with cognitive theory to produce a new reading of cognitive science.
Hutchins argues instead that cultural activity systems have cognitive properties of their own that are different from the cognitive properties of the individuals who participate in them.
After comparing modern Western navigation with the method practiced in Micronesia, Hutchins explores the computational and cognitive properties of systems that are larger than an individual.

The result is an unusual interdisciplinary approach to cognition in culturally constituted activities outside the laboratory - "in the wild." Hutchins examines a set of phenomena that have fallen in the cracks between the established disciplines of psychology and anthropology, bringing to light a new set of relationships between culture and cognition.
What Hutchins did for me is open the door to a whole different way of thinking about cognitive processes in relation to technology.
Up to the moment I was drawn to the interesting title on the shelf of a Barnes and Noble bookstore, I had only a vague idea that there are people who study how other people think and make decisions.

Hutchins examines a set of phenomena that have fallen in the cracks between the established disciplines of psychology and anthropology, bringing to light a new set of relationships between culture and cognition.
It's the biggest strength and achievement of Hutchins' book that he came up with the elegant solution to watch "the mind" by observing humans deal with problems using the cognitive tools (systems of representation and 'real' tools as well) that have developed over the centuries.
By providing further evidence that cognition is generally a distributed task that is done by interacting with cognitive tools, Hutchins proves to be a philosopher in the Wittgensteinian sense who "shows the fly the way from the fly bottle (of mentalism)."

 Chapter 3.13:  What Invention Says to Cognitive Science
Hutchins sociocultural comment does not undermine Searle's critique of programs like BACON, but it does pose problems for the idea that minds cause brains.
Hutchins' conducted a detailed study of navigation on an amphibious helicopter transport and found that the navigation task is distributed across a sociocultural cognitive system that included a Navigator, an Assistant to the Navigator, a Navigation Plotter, a Recorder and two Pelorus Operators who took sightings of landmarks.
It would be interesting to look at how the speed bug was invented, to see if a mechanical representation that forms part of a sociocultural cognitive system was designed by such a system.

His theoretical insights are grounded in an extended analysis of ship navigation -- its computational basis, its historical roots, its social organization, and the details of its implementation in actual practice aboard large ships.
In striking contrast to the usual laboratory tasks of research in cognitive science, he applies the principal metaphor of cognitive science -- cognition as computation (adopting David Marr's paradigm) -- to the navigation task.
Hutchins's conclusion illustrates the costs of ignoring the cultural nature of cognition, pointing to the ways in which contemporary cognitive science can be transformed by new meanings and interpretations.

 Edwin Hutchins, Cognition in the Wild
Even if we ignore such navel-gazing complications, there are two big problems with allowing Hutchins to press the new wine he wants from his heaped-up evidential grapes.
The first is that he's done, really, nothing to show that this kind of shared, collaborative computation doesn't just constitute a special environment for the old-fashioned, symbol-processing problem-solvers of cognitive science.
By contrast, in cases where "emergent computation" (as we say in the trade) clearly is happening, one really does need to postulate representations and computations to make sense of what's happening, but can't assign them to particular components (as, for instance, our ideas can't be localized to particular neurons).

 Compound Mediation in Software Development, Spinuzzi
To discuss how such groups of artifacts mediate activities, I turn to Edwin Hutchins' "ecologies of tools." Hutchins found that the many artifacts used on a naval vessel (such as astrolabes, compasses, sextants, and calculators) are arrayed and employed by multiple workers to transform data.
One is that, to paraphrase Hutchins, genres embody distributed cognition.
In this chapter, I have outlined the genre ecology framework and used an illustrative study to demonstrate its utility for studying compound mediation.

Hutchins's observation that in airplane cockpits people shift from attending to a representation of a thing to the thing itself and back again without problems (in this case it was the fuel indicator panel of an airplane) provides a good example of how ethnographic analysis can inspire design.

 Distributed Cognitions
Recently learning with technology has dramatically emerged from a person and a single computer to networked computers in a social group; that can also be described as a computer supported learning environment.
Weaving these two threads, Edwin Hutchins developed distributed cognitions theory as a new paradigm for rethinking all domains of cognitive phenomena, with a special focus on human-computer interactions as an integrated framework (Hutchins, 2000; Hollan, Hutchins, and Kirsh, 2000).
Although many learning theories are considered social learning; distributed cognition makes two distinctions: first, it views interaction as a source of novel structure; and second, it concerns the role of the cognitive artifacts (the material environment) in cognitive activity because they developed over time.

Each action for bringing a large naval vessel into port, for example, is informed by culture: the navigation team can be seen as a cognitive and computational system.Introducing Navy life and work on the bridge, Hutchins makes a clear distinction between the cognitive properties of an individual and the cognitive properties of a system.
After comparing modern Western navigation with the method practicedin Micronesia, Hutchins explores the computational and cognitive properties of systems that are larger than an individual.
He then turns to an analysis of learning or change in the organization of cognitive systems at several scales.Hutchins's conclusion illustrates the costs of ignoring the cultural nature of cognition, pointing to the ways in which contemporary cognitive science can be transformed by new meanings and interpretations.A Bradford Book
