Après avoir présenté et expliqué la notion de cognition distribuée, je situerai l’analyse qu’elle permet au sein des sciences cognitives et de la sociologie. Mes buts sont de montrer en quoi la th´eorie de la cognition distribuée contribue aux théories de la psychologie et de la sociologie, et réciproquement comment les théories de la sociologie et de la psychologie peuvent être rec...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2011) <i>La sociologie cognitive</i> <br/>

Placeholders enable conceptual change only if presumed to be relevant (e.g., lead to the formation of true beliefs) even though their meaning is not yet fully understood and their cognitive function not yet specified. Humans are predisposed to make such presumptions in a communicative context. Specifying the role of the presumption of relevance in conceptual change would provide a more comprehensi...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2011) <i>Behavioral and Brain Science 34(3)</i> 34: 3 131-132<br/>

Humans massively depend on communication with others, but this leaves them open to the risk of being accidentally or intentionally misinformed. To ensure that, despite this risk, communication remains advantageous, humans have, we claim, a suite of cognitive mechanisms for epistemic vigilance. Here we outline this claim and consider some of the ways in which epistemic vigilance works in mental and...<br/><br/>Dan Sperber, Fabrice Clément, Christophe Heintz, Olivier Mascaro, Hugo Mercier, Gloria Origgi, Deirde Wilson (2010) <i>Mind and Language</i> 25: 4 359--393<br/>

Cultural epidemiology is a theoretical framework that enables historical studies to be informed by cognitive science. It incorporates some insights from evolutionary psychology (viz. cultural evolution is constrained by universal properties of the human cognitive apparatus that result from biological evolution) and some from Darwinian models of cultural evolution (viz. population thinking: c...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2010) <i>Past Minds: Studies in Cognitive Historiography</i> <br/>

I suggest that one of the best ways to pursue and go beyond the programme of Writing Culture is to do cognitive anthropology of anthropology. I will situate Writing Culture with regard to this field of research and I will argue that Writing Culture can contribute to the development of the cognitive anthropology of anthropology. This is because it is sensible to start the anthropological study of a...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2010) <i>Beyond Writing Culture</i> <br/>

Folk epistemology refers to a range of cognitive skills that involve epistemic concepts such as knowledge and truth. As human beings we are able to assess the truth of an utterance by another agent or whether an inference someone makes is valid. We can evaluate to what extent sources we acquire information from are reliable and whether new information we acquire should lead to belief revision....<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz, Dario Taraborelli (2010) <i>Review of Philosophy and Psychology</i> 1: 4 477--482<br/>

Can human social cognitive processes and social motives be grasped by the methods of experimental economics? Experimental studies of strategic cognition and social preferences contribute to our understanding of the social aspects of economic decisions making. Yet, papers in this issue argue that the social aspects of decision-making introduce several difficulties for interpreting the results of ec...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz and Nicholas Bardsley (2010) <i>Mind and Society</i> 9: 2 113--118<br/>

Nous présentons les travaux en sciences sociales des derniéres cinquante années qui se sont inspirés des études Darwiniennes sur l’´evolution. Nous distinguons différents types de Darwinisme en sciences sociales selon l’utilisation des notions Darwiniennes : le Darwinisme biologique est utilisé pour rendre compte des comportements humains et le Darwinisme universel est utilis´e pour r...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz, Nicolas Claidiére (2009) <i>Les mondes darwiniens: l'évolution de l'évolution</i> <br/>

The present work is a study in the historiography of science. Its goal is to provide some theoretical tools for studying the evolution of science as a social and cognitive phenomenon. It aims at showing that some concepts and frames of analysis drawn from cognitive anthropology are fruitful tools for the scientific study of science. The theories that I advocate using are the epidemiology of repres...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2007) <br/>

Studying institutions as part of the research on cultural evolution prompts us to analyze one very important mechanism of cultural evolution: institutions do distribute cultural variants in the population. Also, it enables relating current research on cultural evolution to some more traditional social sciences: institutions, often seen as macro-social entities, are analyzed in terms of their const...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2007) <i>Biological Theory</i> 2: 3 244-249<br/>

I analyse the impact of search engines on our cognitive and epistemic practices. For that purpose, I describe the processes of assessment of documents on the Web as relying on distributed cognition. Search engines together with Web users, are distributed assessment systems whose task is to enable efficient allocation of cognitive resources of those who use search engines. Specifying the cognitive ...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2006) <i>Pragmatics and Cognition</i> 14: 2 387-409<br/>

I argue that scientific cognition can be accounted for in a massive modularity theoretical framework. Scientific cognition is then described as a culturally informed reflection, allowed by meta-representational abilities, upon the mandatory output of preliminary modules. <br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2005) <i>Proceedings of the XXVII Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society</i> 917-922<br/>

I argue that altruistic behavior and its variation across cultures may be caused by mental cognitive mechanisms that induce cooperative behavior in contract-like situations and adapt that behavior to the kinds of contracts that exist in one’s socio-cultural environment. I thus present a cognitive alternative to Henrich et al.’s motivation-based account. Rather than behaving in ways that reveal...<br/><br/>Christophe Heintz (2005) <i>Behavioral and Brain Sciences</i> 28: 825-826<br/>

I argue that questions, methods and theories drawn from cognitive anthropology are particularly appropriate for the study of science. I also emphasize the role of cognitive anthropology of science for the integration of cognitive and social studies of science.
