Funded Activity Summary

The development of cognitive offloading: Children's use of thinking tools. Modern humans routinely use external thinking tools (e.g., calculators, GPS, smartphones) to solve problems that we once solved internally: a behaviour termed cognitive offloading. This developmental psychology project aims to chart the processes underlying children's use of such tools, and to uncover the associated benefits and harms. Using innovative methods specifically designed for children, the project expects to greatly advance scientific understanding of one of the most powerful facets of human behaviour. Expected outcomes include knowledge of critical factors that promote and impede efficient use of thinking tools. This knowledge will provide significant benefits, such as an enhanced capacity to train children to be more proficient.
