John Milton Roberts

John M. Roberts (December 8, 1916 – April 2, 1990) was an American anthropologist who developed the field of expressive culture in a series of studies on games in culture, and published over 50 articles on these subjects. His complete list of publications can be found in the biography by Goodenough (1995). His 1964 article marked the first anthropological view of distributed cognition through the social organization of a community, looking at how information moves through the people in society.
