Consequences of cognitive offloading: Boosting performance but diminishing memory [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2021 Modern technical tools such as tablets allow for the temporal externalisation of working memory processes (i.e., cognitive offloading). Although such externalisations support immediate performance on different tasks, little is known about potential long-term consequences of offloading behaviour.

Developmental origins of cognitive offloading [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 Many animals manipulate their environments in ways that appear to augment cognitive processing. Adult humans show remarkable flexibility in this domain, typically relying on internal cognitive processing when adequate but turning to external support in situations of high internal demand.

A role for metamemory in cognitive offloading [PDF]
Cognition, 2019 Cognitive offloading refers to our reliance on the external environment in order to reduce cognitive demand. For instance, people write notes on paper or smartphones in order not to forget shopping lists or upcoming appointments. A plausible hypothesis is that such offloading relies on metamemory - our confidence in our future memory performance ...

Recognition of rotated objects and cognitive offloading in dogs. [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Recognition of rotated images can challenge visual systems. Humans often diminish the load of cognitive tasks employing bodily actions (cognitive offloading). To investigate these phenomena from a comparative perspective, we trained eight dogs (Canis familiaris) to discriminate between bidimensional shapes. We then tested the dogs with rotated versions

Confidence guides spontaneous cognitive offloading. [PDF]
Cogn Res Princ Implic, 2019 Background: Cognitive offloading is the use of physical action to reduce the cognitive demands of a task. Everyday memory relies heavily on this practice, for example when we write down to-be-remembered information or use diaries, alerts, and reminders to trigger delayed intentions.

Offloading Cognition onto the Web [PDF]
IEEE Intelligent Systems, 2011 Neuropsychology and neuroimaging studies have confirmed what we all knew already from introspection: some of our know-how is conscious, but most of it is not. Learning, skill, knowledge, and memory all come in two forms: explicit, in which we are aware of-and can hence describe in words-how we are able to do something, and implicit, in which we are ...

Offload Shaping for Wearable Cognitive Assistance
2023 IEEE International Conference on Edge Computing and Communications (EDGE), 2023 Edge computing has much lower elasticity than cloud computing because cloudlets have much smaller physical and electrical footprints than a data center. This hurts the scalability of applications that involve low-latency edge offload. We show how this problem can be addressed by leveraging the growing sophistication and compute capability of recent ...

Cognitive Offloading Does Not Prevent but Rather Promotes Cognitive Development. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 We investigate the relation between the development of reactive and cognitive capabilities. In particular we investigate whether the development of reactive capabilities prevents or promotes the development of cognitive capabilities in a population of evolving robots that have to solve a time-delay navigation task in a double T-Maze environment ...

Reduced relational and item-specific processing in cognitive offloading. [PDF]
Cogn Res Princ ImplicAbstract In many circumstances in everyday life, individuals offload information to external stores (e.g., shopping lists) to compensate for limitations in internal memory. When saving information externally, individuals tend to refrain from actively encoding an additional internal copy of the information, leading to a weakening of its ...
