notion of cognitive system is widely used in explanations in cognitive
psychology and neuroscience. Traditional approaches define cognitive
systems in an agent-relative way, that is, via top-down functional
decomposition that assumes a cognitive agent as starting point. The
extended cognition movement challenged that approach by questioning the
primacy of the notion of cognitive agent. In response, [Adams, F., and
K. Aizawa. 2001. The Bounds of Cognition. Oxford, UK: Wiley-Blackwell.]
suggested that to have a clear understanding of what a cognitive system
is we may need to solve “the demarcation challenge”: the problem of
identifying a reliable way to determine which mechanisms that are
causally responsible for the production of a certain cognitive process
constitute a cognitive system responsible for such process and which
ones do not. Recently, [Rupert, R. 2009. Cognitive Systems and the
Extended Mind. Oxford: Oxford University Press.] offered a solution
based on the idea that the mechanisms that constitute a cognitive system
are integrated in a particular sense. In this paper I critically review
Rupert’s solution and argue against it. Additionally, I argue that a
successful account of cognitive system must accommodate the fact that
the neural mechanisms causally responsible for the production of a
cognitive process are diachronically dynamic and yet functionally
stable. At the end, I offer a suggestion as to how to accommodate this
diachronic dynamicity without losing functional stability. I conclude by
drawing some implications for the discussion on cognitive ontologies.</div></span></div></div></span></div><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15544"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15545"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15546"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15857"><font id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15547" size="4"><span style="font-size:small;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15548"></span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15549"></span></font><b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_15550">Practical information</b><font id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5970" size="4"><span style="font-size:small;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5971"></span><span style="font-size:small;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5973"></span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5974"></span></font></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5976"><font id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5977" size="4"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5978"></span></font><font id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5979" size="4"><b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5980"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5981"></b></font></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5982"><b style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5983">Neural Mechanisms Online </b><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1523876298629_5984">is
