Abstract

We will introduce some cognitive and epistemological foundational aspects related to Ambient Intelligence (AmI). We will show how three concepts which derive from the tradition of cognitive science may be of help in deepening some of the main theoretical aspects concerning Ambient Intelligence: the notion of distributed cognition, the concept of cognitive niche, and the concept of affordance. We contend that this theoretical perspective will shed new light on some of the most promising and interesting developments recently brought about by Ambient Intelligence.
