The aim of this paper is to present the idea of virtue extended under three fundamental aspects of cognitive success (i) the dynamic nature of the collection and evaluation of evidence; (ii) the reliability of the prediction processes; (iii) the ability to deal with a given context, where extended capabilities are integrated with non-extended ones. In this sense, cognitive success is the product of a function between the collection of evidence and its cost in time and effort. The extended virtue is intended to reduce said cost.
