Abstract
This paper discusses the tool aspect of the cognitive artifacts often referred to as 'instruments of mind'. Having established the basic distinction between tool and instrument, the authors then go on to review the notion of artifactitself, and discuss thepotentia 1 for mind change that is inherent in the use of 'mental' instruments such as the computer. It is pointed out that the relationship between the mind and its instruments is a dialectic one, and that the 'reflexivity' inherent in this relationship constitutes they ver natureof our interaction with cognitive instruments, such as it is studied in Cognitive Technology.
