    • Can social interaction constitute social cognition? 

      de Jaegher, H.; di Paolo, E.; Gallagher, S. (2010)
      An important shift is taking place in social cognition research, away from a focus on the individual mind and toward embodied and participatory aspects of social understanding. Empirical results already imply that social ...

    • Deep and dynamic interaction : response to Hanne De Jaegher 

      Gallagher, S. (2009)
      First, let me thank Hanne De Jaegher for her comments on my paper, and more generally for her reminder of the importance of social interaction in addressing the problem of social cognition. I agree with much of what she ...

    • Dissociation in self-narrative 

      Gallagher, S.; Cole, J. (2011)
      We review different analytic approaches to narratives by those with psychopathological conditions, and we suggest that the interpretation of such narratives are complicated by a variety of phenomenological and hermeneutical ...

    • Mental Institutions 

      Gallagher, S.; Crisafi, A. (2009)
      We propose to extend Clark and Chalmer’s concept of the extended mind to consider the possibility that social institutions (e.g., legal systems, museums) may operate in ways similar to the hand-held conveniences (notebooks, ...

      Gallagher, S. (2010)

      Gallagher, S.; Varga, S. (2014-04-01)
      In this paper, we first review recent arguments about the direct perception of the intentions and emotions of others, emphasizing the role of embodied interaction. We then consider a possible objection to the direct ...

    • Two problems of intersubjectivity 

      Gallagher, S. (2009)
      I propose a distinction between two closely related problems: the problem of social cognition and the problem of participatory sense-making. One problem focuses on how we understand others; the other problem focuses on ...

    • Understanding others through primary interaction and narrative practice 

      Hutto, D.; Gallagher, S. (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2008)
      We argue that theory-of-mind (ToM) approaches, such as “theory theory” and “simulation theory”, are both problematic and not needed. They account for neither our primary and pervasive way of engaging with others nor the ...

    • Using a simulated environment to investigate experiences reported during space travel 

      Gallagher, S.; Reinerman-Jones, L.; Sollins, B.; Janz, B. (2014)
      Astronauts report certain experiences that can be classified as awe and wonder when looking out of their space station or shuttle portals at two different stimuli: the earth and deep space. Based on these reports, it was ...
