    "title": "Beyond Distributed Cognition: Towards a Taxonomy of Nonreductive Social\nCognition",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Studies of social cognition often assume a reductionist,\ncomputational-representational conceptual framework.\nDistributed cognition is one of the few extant conceptual\nframeworks for a nonreductive understanding of social\ncognition. This concept’s prototypical cases are exclusively of\ntechnical-scientific human institutions, including ships,\ncockpits, and the Hubble Space Telescope. In the first part of\nthe paper, we outline the properties of distributed cognitive\nsystems. We look at the case of wolf (Canis lupus) packs as\nan instance of distributed cognition in nonhuman systems.\nNevertheless, a broad range of social cognitive phenomena\nacross human and animal populations may not fit into this\nconceptual framework. We present a case study of bird flocks\nas a counterexample to distributed cognition. We propose\n“swarm intelligence” as an alternative concept of\nnonreductive social cognition. This is not to replace\ndistributed cognition as a concept, but to add to and diversify\nthe taxonomy of nonreductive social cognitive systems.",
