DESCRIPTION:The distributed cognition perspectives (embodied\, embedded\, 
 enactive\, and extended cognition) are not just a new invention\, but have
  long histories in the cognitive sciences. This talk will particularly con
 cern the historical origins of the framework variously known as enactive o
 r enacted cognition\, enactivism\, or radical embodied cognitive science. 
 \nThe starting point is Anthony Chemero's helpful schematic history of the
  framework\, and the main contribution is the addition of extra complexity
  \nto his picture with particular reference to the work of psychologist Fr
 ederic Bartlett in the 1920s and 1930s. This extra complexity suggests tha
 t we might have to look in places we might never expect to uncover the roo
 ts of radical embodied cognition\, and that its apparent kinship to the ot
 her distributed cognition frameworks could in fact be the result of a shar
 ed family tree. In the light of this\, any convergent evidence from appare
 ntly disparate members of the distributed cognition family should not impr
 ess us too much.
