PEREIRA, Alexsandro Pereira de; OSTERMANN, Fernanda  y  CAVALCANTI, Cláudio José de Holanda. Um exemplo de “distribuição social da mente” em uma aula de física quântica. Ciência educ. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.02, pp.257-270. ISSN 1516-7313.

Several studies in psychology, anthropology and sociology have developed a notion in which the mind is viewed as something that "extends beyond the skin". This paper presents, in the context of quantum physics learning, a study of the social distribution of mind through the analysis of a task carried out by a group of undergraduate physics students, mediated by a virtual Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Our analysis has shown that, for most controversial debates, the meaning-making in the task came from a complex process of interanimation of voices in which it is impossible to determinate who has solved the problem by assigning one or other individual alone i.e., the group as a "system" has played this role on the instrumental plane.

Palabras clave : Distributed Cognition; Sociocultural Approach.
