Projects - Environment as part of Cognition
This was a research paper I worked on during my senior year in college.
Abstract
This paper focuses on finding out which representation of the cognitive system is more accurate to our actual method of thinking. The three views explored are cognitive offloading, the environment as part of cognition and symbolic cognition. The task used to test the theory was a series of Tangram puzzles. The result data supported the environment as part of cognition as the viewpoint best explaining cognitive processes.
