2016 Does successful small-scale coordination help or hinder coordination at larger scales? Interaction Studies 17:3, pp. 371–389 | Article
An individual can interact with the same set of people over many different scales simultaneously. Four people might interact as a group of four and, at the same time, in pairs and triads. What is the relationship between different parallel interaction scales, and how might those scales… read more
2011 Fostering general transfer with specific simulations Technology Enhanced Learning and Cognition, Dror, Itiel E. (ed.), pp. 9–50 | Article
2009 Fostering general transfer with specific simulations Pragmatics & Cognition 17:1, pp. 1–42 | Article
Science education faces the difficult task of helping students understand and appropriately generalize scientific principles across a variety of superficially dissimilar specific phenomena. Can cognitive technologies be adapted to benefit both learning specific domains and generalizable transfer?… read more
2008 Thinking in groups Cognition Distributed: How cognitive technology extends our minds, Dror, Itiel E. and Stevan Harnad (eds.), pp. 99–116 | Article
Is cognition an exclusive property of the individual or can groups have a mind of their own? We explore this question from the perspective of complex adaptive systems. One of the principal insights from this line of work is that rules that govern behavior at one level of analysis (the individual)… read more
