Autobiographical remembering in the digital age is the result of the iterative process of combining information stored in the mind and information stored in the environment using high-tech devices and applications.
“The model views autobiographical remembering in the digital age as the result of the iterative process of combining information stored in the mind and information stored in the environment using high-tech applications.”

The taxonomy proposed by Finley et al. (2018) distinguishes between social, low-tech and high-tech external resources.
“In doing so, we follow the taxonomy proposed by Finley et al. (2018) who suggest to distinguish between social, low-tech and high-tech external resources (for a different taxonomy, see Sutton, 2015).”

Internal autobiographical memories are stored in the mind, which is bound to the human cognitive, biological, and neural structure, while high-tech external resources rely on the data formats and processing characteristics of digital tools, and this goes hand in hand with certain strengths and weaknesses in each case.
“Obviously, the fact that internal autobiographical memories are stored in the mind, which is bound to the human cognitive, biological, and neural structure, while high-tech external resources rely on the data formats and processing characteristics of digital tools, goes hand in hand with certain strengths and weaknesses in each case (see Donald, 1991;Finley et al., 2018).”

Consequences of cognitive offloading: Boosting performance but diminishing memory
Grinschgl, S., Papenmeier, F., & Meyerhoff, H. S. (2021) · Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology · doi:10.1177/17470218211008060 · Cited by 147 · see citing works
“Given the growing impact on people’s everyday lives by technical tools, including external memories (Finley et al., 2018), a careful consideration of the apparent benefits and the hidden risks of cognitive offloading seems needed to avoid unintended detrimental long-term effects.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
