Dror University of Southampton https://ror.org/01ryk1543 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4866-209X Technology has long been a helpful aid in human cognitive activities. With its growing sophistication and usage, technology is now taking a more intrinsic and active role in human cognition. The shift from an external aid to being an internal component of cognitive processing reflects a revolution in technology, cognition, and their interaction. The creation of such ‘cognitive technologies’ transforms the traditional instrumental function of technology to a constitutive role that shapes and defines cognition itself. This book, which was originally published as a Special Issue of Pragmatics & Cognition 13:3 (2005), explores the new horizon of these ‘cognitive technologies’ and their interactions with humans. 12 8 23 2007 7 1 2008 9789027222428 9789027292186 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/bct.12 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027292186 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027292186.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/bct.12/html Itiel E.
