Talk:Embodied embedded cognition

message: Nicely written. Could you clarify the ways that EEC and current social science notion of embeddedness are linked (if indeed they are). Your discussion of EEC is easy to understand but "embeddedness" in social science today seems pretty trivial to a hard scientist. Parsnip13 23:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I think for a cognitive science the big divide is between 1) theories that claim that external information is influencing cognitive internal processes, which would indeed be a trivial point to make (that the cognitive system has sensors that can sense the environment and thereby be influenced by it/react to it/act in order to control the environment, would be the only point of having a cognitive system in the first place) and 2) the strong claim that parts of the environment actually become *part* of the cognitive system. I.e. that one could no longer understand, describe, model, etc, the cognitive system in question without incorporating part of the environment of the organism as an element in its consitutive structure. People in situated cognition, e.g. Lave and Wenger or Lucy Suchman, or Paul Dourish, have all made claims about the *social* structure of the environment being part of the cognitive system (not 'just' the physical structure of the environment as for example many people in 'distributed cognition' focus on). 
Perhaps Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding would make social embeddedness operational rather than trivial in the sense that he claims that children actually cannot (and will not) make a cognitive developmental jump to a next level of cognitive performance if it is not for the timely feedback of an important social other, who will ask the right guiding question just as the child is on the brink of learning something new. (So you're trying to learn the numbers and the particular *kinds* of questions that your teacher or mother asks you will help you to get a grip on this system of numbers and how to make sense of it. Because of the questions, you suddenly 'see' the necessary patterns and relations). If the social context is not there, the child cannot make the developmental step on its own. Would that be 'hard' enough a mechanism for the hard scientists? --Jelle1975 (talk) 19:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
