--- abstract: '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.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ' July 26-29' conference: 'The 28th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society ' confloc: 'Vancouver, BC, Canada' contact_email: ~ creators_id: - jv37@columbia.edu - manu_kapur@hotmail.com - kinzer@tc.columbia.edu - black@tc.columbia.edu creators_name: - family: Voiklis given: John honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kapur given: Manu honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kinzer given: Charles honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Black given: John honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2006-07 date_type: published datestamp: 2008-12-04 17:29:35 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/62/87 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Sun given: Ron honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Miyake given: Naomi honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 6287 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/6287/1/VoiklisEtAl_Emergentist.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: emergence problem-solving collective-cognition coordination lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:57:16 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 858-863 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates refereed: TRUE referencetext: "Arrow, H., McGrath, J.
