The End of the Debate Over Extended Cognition

One of the more lively current debates in philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of mind is over the possibility of extended cognition. Recently, though, this debate has hit a dead end, with proponents and opponents agreeing that whether cognition is sometimes extended is an empirical matter, but not knowing what an empirical demonstration of extended cognition would look like.  In this talk, I argue that extended cognition has been empirically demonstrated repeatedly in the lab.  Given this, the debate over extended cognition should be over.
