Augmented Social Cognition

Definition:
  • Cognition: the ability to remember, think, and reason; the faculty of knowing.
  • Social Cognition: the ability of a group to remember, think, and reason; the construction of knowledge structures by a group.  (not quite the same as in the branch of psychology that studies the cognitive processes involved in social interaction, though included)
  • Augmented Social Cognition: Supported by systems, the enhancement of the ability of a group to remember, think, and reason; the system-supported construction of knowledge structures by a group.
