Edwin Hutchins, born in 1948, is an American cognitive scientist, a professor and former department head of cognitive science at the University of California, San Diego. He is one of the main developers of distributed cognition, an approach to cognitive science research that he developed as a cognitive anthropologist during the 1990s. Hutchins argues that mental representations are distributed across sociocultural systems, including external artifacts, work teams and cultural systems for interpreting reality, rather than sitting only within the individual brain.
