differences between computer artefacts and human mediating artefacts.
Hi everyone, Sorry to bring this up again, but I think that I have
figured out in what way it is relevant and surely matters. Not
that there are real doubts (?) Anyhow, I think that when one is interested
in comparative human cognition, for example, it makes a real difference
to state the difference in mediating artefacts. A difference that would
preclude a whole area of research based on computer modeling of human
cognition. And a difference that cultural psychology makes real and
final.
Voila, for an abstraction, that needed to get back to the concrete.
