Previous research in the area of distributed cognition within the educational process has revealed several new and emerging phenomena regarding student behavior. Students appear to be strategically discriminating in their learning strategies, taking the opportunity to offload learning when information is easily accessible and retrievable. This paper reviews several current research findings, and offers societal implications.

Reinventing the Library's Message Through the Alignment of Research and Instruction

The Walker Management Library staff and services at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management consciously redefined their message, methods of delivery, and did so in ways that other libraries can duplicate.

Generation and the Google Effect: Transactive Memory System Preference Across Age

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether preference for TMS type (either with books or with computers) varies across age groups, and an interaction between TMS preference and age was hypothesized.

Technology-assisted memory

Memory is extremely important and helps us to perform their everyday tasks, remember facts, and reminisce about the past, but people are forgetful and the memories the authors do have are often inaccurate and distorted.

Distributed cognition: toward a new foundation for human-computer interaction research

This article proposes distributed cognition as a new foundation for human-computer interaction, sketches an integrated research framework, and uses selections from earlier work to suggest how this framework can provide new opportunities in the design of digital work materials.

Google Effects on Memory: Cognitive Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips

The results of four studies suggest that when faced with difficult questions, people are primed to think about computers and that when people expect to have future access to information, they have lower rates of recall of the information itself and enhanced recall instead for where to access it.
