Distributed Cognition

Current Definition
The knowledge which we have and need is not all in our head, but to a large extent resides in the world: in artifacts of all kinds and in the heads of other people. A distributed cognition perspective raises many interesting issues, such as how the knowledge in the head and the knowledge in the world are related to each other, how knowledge in the world can be learnt on demand, and whether we actively access the knowledge in the world or whether it is delivered to us.
