Distributed Cognition refers to a theory developed by the Psychologist Edwin Hutchins. Distributed Cognition is the idea that social groups have their own concept of cognition, separate from individual cognition- a group cognition. According to D.A Norman there are three key components 

"Embodiment of information that is embedded in representations of interaction

Coordination of enaction among embodied agents

Ecological contributions to a cognitive ecosystem" ((1994) "Representations in Distributed Cognitive Tasks", Cognitive Science, 18, 87-122.)
