# Integrating 4E cognition with science and technology studies: a framework for understanding AI applications

## TL;DR

This paper combines cognitive science and technology studies to better understand how AI interacts with human cognition and society.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a new integrative framework linking 4E cognition with AI and socio-material practices.

## Key findings

- An integrative framework connects 4E cognition with AI and socio-material practices.
- The framework helps theorize the interrelations between cognition, society, and AI technology.

## Abstract

The paper brings together two different theoretical strands of research, one from cognitive science, the other from Science and Technology Studies. The purpose in so doing is to uncover how cognition interrelates with socio-material practices and AI technology. An integrative framework is presented as a possible way for connecting the two strands while theorizing on their interrelations with AI.
