Distributed Cognition: Toward a New Foundation for Human-Computer Interaction Research

Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: Cognitive work is distributed across people, artifacts, and environments, so the whole functional system is the proper unit of analysis.

Impact: Strengthen workflow-level evaluation and artifact traceability. Reject model-only performance as system evidence.

Boundary: The framework is analytical, not a measured implementation result. Next: what minimum system boundary captures the people, repositories, tools, and external constraints that affect an outcome?

Flags: framework-level transfer; no intervention test

Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement

What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
