D. Enhanced Cognition with Computer Mediation: a Research Hypothesis

bulletIf young children transform their cognition through mediation by tool & symbol (Vygotsky), then adults can further transform their cognition through mediation by computational symbolic tools!
bulletIf learning is a process between individuals and their communities (Lave), then this process can be facilitated by software that supports the interplay between groups & their members!
bulletIf the power of cognition is driven by mediation through external memory (Donald), then effective web-based group memories can be designed based on an understanding of mediated cognition!
