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 ...

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 ...

Mutual interplay between cognitive offloading and secondary task performance [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 2023 AbstractVarious modern tools, such as smartphones, allow for cognitive offloading (i.e., the externalization of cognitive processes). In this study, we examined the use and consequences of cognitive offloading in demanding situations in which people perform multiple tasks concurrently—mimicking the requirements of daily life.

Reduced relational and item-specific processing in cognitive offloading [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchIn many circumstances in everyday life, individuals offload information to external stores (e.g., shopping lists) to compensate for limitations in internal memory.

Can humanoid robots be used as a cognitive offloading tool? [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchCognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass the available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing the number of errors in a task.

Get the unbalance right: asymmetric transfer effects in cognitive offloading [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchResearch has shown that cognitive offloading improves immediate performance in perception, short-term memory, and prospective memory, but also has negative side effects, such as poorer memory for offloaded information.

Framing cognitive offloading in terms of gains or losses: achieving a more optimal use of reminders [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2022 Nowadays individuals can readily set reminders to offload intentions onto external resources, such as smartphone alerts, rather than using internal memory. Individuals tend to be biased, setting more reminders than would be optimal.

Cognitive Data Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing for Internet of Things
IEEE Access, 2020 Data offloading to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) servers is an attractive choice for resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices, towards reducing their computational effort.
