Description
Addressing fundamental questions like « how do thinking and learning happen, » psychology normally takes a person-solo view. The agent that thinks and learns is not a group but an individual, and physical supports like pencils, notebooks, and computers are a secondary part of the analysis at best. A different, more accurate, and in some ways more powerful theoretical perspective treats the agent that thinks and learns as the « person-plus » - person plus physical and social surround. In realistic circumstances of cognition, important knowledge, key representations, cognitive workspaces, and more are commonly held not just in the mind but in considerable part in the physical environment. Also, they are often shared among several people, none individually having all the resources. Even decisions about what to do next - what might be called the executive function - remarkably often are ceded to the surround : Physical objects like written instructions or other humans like a mentor provide direction. A person-plus view offers implications for understanding and improving settings of teaching and learning, as well as for building better theories of learning and human development.
