    "abstract": "A complementary strategy can be defined as any organizing \nactivity which recruits external elements to reduce cognitive \nloads. Typical organizing activities include pointing, \narranging the position and orientation of nearby objects, \nwriting things down, manipulating counters, rulers or other \nartifacts that can encode the state of a process or simplify \nperception. To illustrate the idea of a complementary strategy, \na simple experiment was performed in which subjects were \nasked to determine the dollar value of collections of coins. In \nthe no-bands condition, subjects were not allowed to touch the \ncoin images or to move their hands in any way. In the hands \ncondition, they were allowed to use their hands and fingers \nhowever they liked. Significant improvements in time and \nnumber of errors were observed when S's used their hands \nover when they did not. To explain these facts, a brief account \nof some commonly observed complementary strategies is \npresented, and an account of their potential benefits to \nperception, memory and attention.",
