Descrição
For C.S. Peirce, mind is semiosis (sign-action) in a dialogical form, and cognition is the development of available semiotic material artifacts in which it is embodied as a power to produce interpretants (sign-effects). It takes the form of development of semiotic artifacts, such as writing tools, instruments of observation, notational systems, languages, and so forth. Our objective in this paper is to explore the connection between a semiotic theory of mind and the conception of extended mind through the notion of iconicity, taking advantage of an empirical example of investigation in distributed problem solving (Tower of Hanoi).
Keywords: icon, situated cognition, problem solving, C.S.Peirce, cognitive semiotics.||Para C.S. Peirce, mente é semiose (ação do signo) em uma forma dialógica, e a cognição é o desenvolvimento de artefatos materiais semióticos disponíveis em que signos estão incorporados como "poder" para produzir interpretantes (efeitos dos signos). A mente tem a forma do desenvolvimento de artefatos semióticos, tais como ferramentas de escrita, instrumentos de observação, sistemas de notação, linguagem, e outros. Nosso objetivo, neste artigo, é explorar a conexão entre a teoria semiótica da mente de Peirce e a concepção de cognição distribuída através da noção de iconicidade, e de um exemplo de investigação empírica em solução de problema distribuído (Torre de Hanoi).
Abstract:

It takes the form of development of semiotic artifacts, such as writing tools, instruments of observation, notational systems, languages, and so forth. Our objective in this paper is to explore the connection between a semiotic theory of mind and the conception of extended mind through the notion of iconicity, taking advantage of an empirical example of investigation in distributed problem solving (Tower of Hanoi).
