abstract = {Tools have coined human life, living conditions, and
culture. Recognizing thecognitive architecture underlying
tool use would allow us to comprehendits evolution,
development, and physiological basis. However, the
cognitiveunderpinnings of tool mastering remain little
understood in spite of long-timeresearch in neuroscientific,
psychological, behavioral and technological fields.Moreover,
the recent transition of tool use to the digital domain
poses newchallenges for explaining the underlying processes.
In this interdisciplinary review,we propose three building
blocks of tool mastering: (A) perceptual and motorabilities
integrate to tool manipulation knowledge, (B) perceptual and
cognitiveabilities to functional tool knowledge, and (C)
motor and cognitive abilities tomeans-end knowledge about
tool use. This framework allows for integratingand
structuring research findings and theoretical assumptions
regarding thefunctional architecture of tool mastering via
behavior in humans and non-humanprimates, brain networks, as
well as computational and robotic models.
Aninterdisciplinary perspective also helps to identify open
questions and to inspireinnovative research approaches. The
framework can be applied to studies on thetransition from
classical to modern, non-mechanical tools and from
analogueto digital user-tool interactions in virtual
reality, which come with increasedfunctional opacity and
sensorimotor decoupling between tool user, tool, andtarget.
By working towards an integrative theory on the cognitive
architecture ofthe use of tools and technological
assistants, this review aims at stimulating
futureinterdisciplinary research avenues.},
