We propose an account of cognitive tools that takes into account the process of enculturation by which tools are integrated into our cognitive systems. Drawing on work in cultural evolution and developmental psychology, we argue that cognitive tools are complex entities consisting of physical objects, representational systems, and cognitive practices for the physical manipulation of the tool. We use an extensive case study of spatial navigation to demonstrate the core claims. The account we provide is contrasted with conceptions of cognitive tools that simplify cognition, in particular that they offload cognitive work, or that the tools themselves are temporary developmental scaffolds or props. Enculturation results in transformed cognitive systems, and we can now think and act in new ways with cognitive tools.
我们提出了一种认知工具的解释，考虑到了工具被整合到我们的认知系统中的文化适应过程。借鉴文化进化和发展心理学的工作，我们认为认知工具是由物理对象、表现系统和用于物理操作工具的认知实践组成的复杂实体。我们使用空间导航的广泛案例研究来证明核心主张。我们提供的解释与简化认知的认知工具概念形成对比，特别是它们可以减轻认知工作，或者工具本身是临时的发展支架或道具。文化适应导致认知系统的转变，我们现在可以用认知工具以新的方式思考和行动。
