Unified theories of cognition
| Hi-index | 0.00 |
Augmented Cognition (AugCog) explores behavior in real-time and in real world settings. This research avenue is a departure from standard experimental approaches such as those accepted in the fields of Cognitive Psychology and the Neurosciences. AugCog as a field of study, therefore, has the potential to up-end some of the tried-and-true laboratory based findings on such topics as learning and transfer of learning. Steeped in history from both the biological systems perspective and the cognition neuroscience vantage, the future of AugCog seems contingent on its success at merging these paradigms and concurrently producing analysis tools with which to keep peering into the brain as it functions in operational environments. In this paper, we review the theories that drive Augmented Cognition approaches and evaluate their capacity to keep the field moving forward.
