Research on distributed intelligence and cognition suggests that memory is not just in our heads (Salomen 1991), instead the "surround" in which the memories are formed-including the place and the tools we use - play an important role. Educational researcher David Perkins (1992) puts it as follows: Human cognition at its richest almost always occurs in ways that are physically, socially, and symbolically distributed. People think and remember with the help of all sorts of physical aids, and we commonly construct new physical aids to help ourselves yet more (p. 133)
