Frustrated with Stahl, see note below:

the analysis of group cognition explores how small groups engage as a group (i.e., at the group unit of analysis) in the accomplishment of cognitive tasks. These include such tasks as: intersubjective meaning making, interpersonal trains of thought, shared understandings of diagrams, joint problem conceptualizations, common references, coordination of problem-solving efforts, planning, deducing, designing, describing, problem solving, explaining, defining, generalizing, representing, remembering and reflecting.
