My research project
Distributed Cognition in the Age of AI: Understanding the Mechanisms and Outcomes of Cognitive Offloading in AI-Assisted Decision MakingMy research examines how distributing cognition to AI systems changes the cognitive and metacognitive processes underlying human judgement and decision making. In particular, I focus on how different forms of cognitive offloading, such as delegating memory or judgement processes to AI, alters cognitive engagement, information sampling, and the internal cues people use to monitor their own performance. Across a series of studies, I investigate the mechanisms underlying metacognitive calibration and the performance outcomes associated with AI-augmented decision making.
