A: the bartenders use different kinds of glasses to store information in the world. A: 2 computing students writing a pc program together. A: some kids arranging 2 coats to work as a football goal. A: a woman calculating a multiplication problem in her head. A: the robots global behavior emerged from the interactions of the robots and their environment. A: how the calculations depends on the symbols used. A: no, flocking emerges from the basic rules they use to navigate. A: it shows how distributed cognition might transition to be fully internal (and presumably representational)
