Consequences of cognitive offloading: Boosting performance but diminishing memory
Grinschgl, Papenmeier and Meyerhoff, Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology 74(9), 2021, 1477-1496. Pattern copy task. Offloading improved immediate performance and weakened later memory, including when participants knew a test was coming; higher offloading costs reduced offloading, with weaker immediate performance and more accurate memory.
