Editing Situated cognition (section)

==Externalism==
As to the mind, by and large, situated cognition paves the way to various form of [[externalism]]. The issue is whether the situated aspect of cognition has only a practical value or it is somehow constitutive of cognition and perhaps of consciousness itself. As to the latter possibility, there are different positions. David Chalmers and Andy Clark, who developed the hugely debated model of the extended mind, explicitly rejected the externalization of consciousness.<ref name="clark2008">Clark, A., (2008), ''Supersizing the Mind'', Oxford, Oxford University Press.</ref> For them, only cognition is extended. On the other hand, others, like Riccardo Manzotti<ref name=clark2008 /> or Teed Rockwell,<ref>Rockwell, 2005 #1561</ref> explicitly considered the possibility to situate conscious experience in the environment.
