The topic of extend mind has changed our thinking mind. It is regarded as the ecological structure of intelligence, that is, reconfirms setting capacity of implementing these environments. We must face to the questions which is the core in the thesis:If the heart is no longer to dominate the content of thought, where is the ego to placed? If we want to find out the concept of extend mind, we need to assume the mind to mixed entity which is located in its material parts, but not anyone accepts such mind. The entities can be explained by mereological nihilism. The parts can’t exist for separated oneself from the overall, so, the mixed physical entity is impossible to exist in fact.This thesis solutes this question by the scheme of naturalization, which uses Constitute interpretation instead of causal explanation, to explain the extension mind how to constitutes.We noticed that the human have the gift that apply resources of environment and integrate the biological ability to extend cognitive skills.The human use brain to process information, at the same time, they use a variety of cognitive behavior to make up the limitations of it. The brain of human can process the complex cognitive tasks revert to the body of operation, they also use it to modify environment of surroundings. This is a strategy of unload cognitive tasks, which is also founded in common problems solving. According to the practices of problem solving, People create the technique of external cognitive and promote the development of cognition. The cognitive subjectivity plays a decisive role in the process. The core of this role is that putting the props of environment and the aiding things into the problem solving practice based on the physiology, which aims to avoid and overcome the calculation limitations of human creatures wetware. That people intelligence’s dependence for cognitive support needs to be as the prerequisite for cognitive not (just) in your mind.The extend cognitive hypothesis is according with the requirement and it emphasizes that human cognition is not limited to the brain in a big parts, as well as,the body and the environment resources are the parts of cognitive mereological. To this end, we convert the expression of extended mind to the extend cognitive assumptions:a) Mind has psychological state and psychological ability; it is entity of participating in mental process, b) Mind is the complex physical entities which completely composites by the physical elements,c) Extend cognitive assumptions means that certain mental state and process of physical implementation aided the resources outside neural to a certain extent, they are parts of the body of the organism or the external environment.d) The mind lies in anywhere of its psychological state. After such transformation, we know that cognitive extension and this explains extension of the mind in fact. The conclusion is that ego across the border from the skin and blends the cultural symbol of matter, which is a existence of culture generating.Such extended cognitive also has a certain scope of application:Consciousness state of Phenomenon of mind supervenes on neural mechanisms of organism boundaries. We can use methodology principle which is similar to Georg Theiner to determine the range——fair principle——ontology promises entities which can’t logicalizated and quantized in the optimum scientific theory;Ontology promises the necessary all entities in the optimum scientific theory by the honest principle; Ontology refused extend mind theory to solve other theory which fails to solve the problems by the extend fairness principle;. But we believe that as long as we can’t overcome the defect of functionalism, the problems of extended mind are unsolved forever. So, this article takes mind as sensibility and structures sensitivity by complex social methods. We advocate that interaction phenomenon is the feeling of human body, it not the phenomenon of physical activity. Mind can be participated in physical activities. However, if material activity wants to share the mind, it needs to appear as experiences of mind, and that is to say, material activity must be appear as experience of phenomenon.
