Describe the concepts of situated cognition and socially-shared cognition

What will be an ideal response?


Situated cognition is closely related to Vygotsky's theory of development, and proposes that thinking always takes place in a concrete setting and in relation to a specific problem or situation. It is also strongly influenced by the social environment, including not only the individual's specific family or school, but also their language, geographical region, cultural and religious practices, etc. Socially shared cognition is also closely related, and highlights the idea that thinking extends "beyond the skin." In other words, thinking is a social behavior that is influenced and shaped by the presence and activities of the people around us.
