Document Summary
It requires reaching a certain level of expertise and engagement: reflective cognition (slow thinking) mental effort, attention, judgment, and decision making that leads to new ideas and creativity. Interdependent: several of these cognitive processes (ex. learning, problem solving) may be involved for a given activity. They include thinking about what to do, what the options are, and what the consequences might be of carrying out a given action. Internal frameworks focus primarily on mental processes together: 1. Information processing provides a basis from which to make predictions about human performance. External cognition explaining the cognitive processes involved when we interact with different external representations: a main goal is to explicate the cognitive benefits of using different representations for different cognitive activities and the processes involved. Computational offloading: use a tool or device in conjunction with an external representation to help us carry out a computation, ex. using pen and paper to solve a math problem, 3.
