  1. SINTELNET • Structure of the white paper: • Introduce five different approaches, jointly dubbed ‘wide cognition’: • extended, • embodied, • enacted, • situated, • and distributed cognition. • Describe case studies that give more insight than agent-based modeling into social intelligence • (in particular, but not limited to, in IT-enabled contexts).

  2. Where, exactly, is wide cognition relevant? Research questions / Theoretical approaches / Competence • Embodied joint action (vsamodal; e.g. motor, interbody synergies, joint affordances): Steve, Jakub • Cognitive artifacts (incl. tools, virtual identities): Robert & Ola & Fredrik • Social emotions • Self • Social cognition and culture: Tad, Fredrik, Leandro, Joanna • Mind-reading (Tad) • Social memory and social knowledge • Development and enactment of social cognition at different time scales (Tad) • Pretence play, Role play (Zuzanna, Adam) • Imitation

  3. Challenges: openquestions • Whatare unresolved problems? • Compositionality. Youknowthat story. Scripted by Fodor, soundtrack by Wagner. • Unit of analysis / boundaries of cognition • Biological ‘core’ abilities vs. wide cognition (how natural is culture?) • Collective intentionality • Is distributed cognition a useful concept? • Time scales • Non-individual factors: constitutive or causal? • Is there theoretically significant difference between social and artefactual scaffold? • How to study these phenomena?

  4. Dangers Duplication of effort • Social intelligence can be explained and modeled in various approaches. There is a danger of duplicating effort. Isolation • Empirical evidence in various theories may rather constrain other theories rather than screen them off. We should strive for integration (via truth-constraints). • Theoretical manifestos without empirical work. Conceptual confusion and misunderstanding • Communication issues. Different vocabularies.
