exif: {"Image DocumentName": "The Extended Mind This theme has stumped historians for centuries. How did actors in Shakespeare s day remember their lines", "Image ImageDescription": "Actors performed anywhere from 60 to 70 plays per year \u2013 several plays each week \u2013 with few repeat performances. Historians have often thought that a single prompter, with the whole text as a kind of blueprint in their mind, continually fed actors their lines. But many disagree ... The extended mind theory has been applied to this theme to explain how actors coped under these extraordinary demands. It has been argued that the system, the architecture, or the physical layout of the theatre, remembered the information for them. Only certain scenes happened on balconies, for example, or at particular entrances or exists. An actor would remember the line to say while cradling a baby under a tree, or slicing an arm of an opponent. The lines related to the particular array of characters around, the type of activity, the physical layout, and the gestures. Lines were not remembered in isolation. Case, A. (2013, November).
