Extended Mind Thesis

The Extended Mind Thesis suggests that our mind isn't confined to our brain or body alone; instead, it includes external tools and resources we use to think and understand. For example, when you use a notepad to remember information or a calculator to solve math problems, these tools become part of your thinking process. Our cognitive abilities are extended into these external aids, making them integral to how we process, store, and manipulate information, thereby broadening the traditional view of where mental activities occur.
