"6287","An Emergentist Account of Collective Cognition in Collaborative Problem Solving ","As a first step toward an emergentist theory of collective cognition in collaborative problem solving, we present a proto-theoretical account of how one might conceive and model the intersubjective processes that organize collective cognition into one or another--convergent, divergent, or tensive--cognitive regime. To explore the sufficiency of our emergentist proposal we instantiate a minimalist model of intersubjective convergence and simulate the tuning of collective cognition using data from an empirical study of small-group, collaborative problem solving. Using the results of this empirical simulation, we test a number of preliminary hypotheses with regard to patterns of interaction, how those patterns affect a cognitive regime, and how that cognitive regime affects the efficacy of a problem-solving group.","http://cogprints.org/6287/","Voiklis, John and Kapur, Manu and Kinzer, Charles and Black, John","Sun, Ron and Miyake, Naomi","       <span class=\"person_name\">Voiklis, John</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Kapur, Manu</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Kinzer, Charles</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Black, John</span>     (2006)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/6287/\"><em>An Emergentist Account of Collective Cognition in Collaborative Problem Solving.</em></a>       [Conference Paper]           ","jv37@columbia.edu,manu_kapur@hotmail.com,kinzer@tc.columbia.edu,black@tc.columbia.edu","2006-07"
