| Abstract |
|
If you have ever tilted your head to perceive a rotated image, or programmed a smartphone to remind you of an upcoming appointment, you have engaged in cognitive offloading: the use of physical action to alter the information processing requirements of a task in order to reduce cognitive demand. Despite the ubiquity of this sort of behavior, it has only recently become the target of systematic investigation in and of itself. Here we review research from a number of domains focusing on two main questions: a) what mechanisms trigger cognitive offloading, and b) what are the cognitive consequences of this behavior? We offer a novel metacognitive framework that integrates results from diverse domains and suggests avenues for future research. |
