Memory Research Group meeting on 2025.07.10 is part of the memory and cognition theme
During the session, we'll read together an excerpt from Cognition in the Wild by Edwin Hutchins (1995)
About the text:
"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. The result is an unusual interdisciplinary approach to cognition in culturally constituted activities outside the laboratory—'in the wild.'"
