Mandevillian intelligence is a specific form of collective intelligence in which individual cognitive vices (i.e., shortcomings, limitations, constraints and biases) are seen to play a positive functional role in yielding collective forms of cognitive success. The present paper introduces the concept of mandevillian intelligence and reviews a number of strands of empirical research that help to shed light on the phenomenon. The paper also attempts to highlight the value of the concept of mandevillian intelligence from a philosophical, scientific and engineering perspective. Inasmuch as we accept the notion of mandevillian intelligence, then it seems that the cognitive and epistemic value of a specific social or technological intervention will vary according to whether our attention is focused at the individual or collective level of analysis. This has a number of important implications for how we think about the design and evaluation of collective cognitive systems. For example, the notion of mandevillian intelligence forces us to take seriously the idea that the exploitation (or even the accentuation) of individual cognitive shortcomings could, in some situations, provide a productive route to collective forms of cognitive and epistemic success.

“…Otras investigaciones han corroborado estos resultados: las memorias falsas de los confederados insertadas en situaciones interaccionales fueron altamente contagiosas y afectaron negativamente las memorias de los participantes (Echterhoff, Groll, & Hirst, 2007;Hirst & Echterhoff, 2012). Recientemente estudios en esta línea de investigación han comenzado a explorar los aspectos positivos de contar con memorias adaptables y fácilmente 'contaminables' (Fagin, Yamashiro & Hirst, 2013;Wheeler, Allan, Tsivilis, Martin & Gabbert, 2013). Wheeler y sus colegas sostienen que tener memorias adaptables juega un papel central para la promoción de la confianza entre los miembros de grupos sociales.…”

“…Esto facilita la transmisión de conocimientos y la cooperación. Tener memorias adaptables y fácilmente 'contaminables' parece ser también de vital importancia en la formación y conservación de comunidades de memoria (Zerubavel, 2003) que son la base para el surgimiento, la formación y la transmisión de la memoria colectiva (Fagin, Yamashiro & Hirst, 2013).…”

“…In the context of conversational remembering, in other words, WI-RIF gives rise to SS-RIF. Conversational remembering thus tends to cause agents to converge on common memory representations, giving rise to a simple form of shared memory (Fagin et al, 2013;Stone et al, 2013).…”

Collaborative Remembering

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Collaborative remembering, in which two or more individuals cooperate to remember together, is an ordinary occurrence. Ordinary though it may be, it challenges traditional understandings of memory knowledge in terms of justified memory beliefs held within the minds of single subjects. Collaborative memory has come to be a major area of research in psychology, but it has so far not been investigated in epistemology. This chapter conducts an initial exploration of the epistemological implications of collaborative memory research, arguing that the findings of this research support a novel theory of knowledge: distributed reliabilism. The chapter also argues for broadening the concept of collaborative memory to include not only direct interactions among subjects but also more indirect, technology-supported, and -mediated interactions.
