Cognitive Effects With and Of Computer Technology
Abstract
A distinction is offered between cognitive effects with computers, whereby one's performance is redefined and upgraded during intellectual partnership with the computer, and effects of computers, whereby such partnership leaves durable and generalizable cognitive residues later on. Concerning effects with computers, it is argued that the quality of effects with computer programs greatly depends on the setting in which the computer-related activity takes place, on the user's goals, and on his or her mindful engagement in the activity. Concerning effects for the computer, two mechanisms for affecting cognition are discussed: skill stretching by means of novel cognitive requirements and skill internalization à la Vygotsky.

The absence of practice and routine in using internal resources might cause the detrimental effects of cognitive offloading.
“In return, it might be the absence of practice and routine in using internal resources which causes the detrimental effects of cognitive offloading (Risko & Gilbert, 2016; Salomon, 1990).”
From Consequences of cognitive offloading: Boosting performance but diminishing memory (2021) · cites this paper as Salomon, 1990
The findings are compatible with Salomon's (1990) framework of effects with technology on task processing and effects of technology on cognitive development.
“Our findings are also compatible with the framework of Salomon (1990), who proposed effects with technology on task processing as well as effects of technology on the development of cognitive abilities in the field of learning sciences.”

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.
