The comparison group will comprise of participants not utilizing “Google Assistant” and only have access to traditional research media (encyclopedias, magazines and books).The dependent variables that will be measured in the present investigation include: 1) the immediate and delayed recall of memory and 2) autonomic nervous system arousal response measured by heart rate variability. Response accuracy will be operationally defined using participants’ scores on a 10 question test, an assessment designed to measure memory recall percentage. Heart rate variability will be defined by changes in heart rate measured with an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) – a test that provides a graph of the heartbeat from electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes sense the electrical signals in the heart that cause it to beat (Mccraty & Shaffer, 2015).RationaleCognitive offloading can be roughly subdivided into actions that offload cognitive demands onto-the-body and into-the-world. Recent research in cognitive science has focused on how we actively use our bodies in the ‘here-and-now’ to reduce cognitive demand (Risko & Gilbert 2016). Current research shows that a conscious decision to use artificial intelligence when seeking information has begun to affect cognitive memory function.  Over long periods of time the use of this technology may show negative implications of memory recall both short and long term.  A plausible hypothesis is that such offloading relies on metamemory – our confidence in our future memory performance. However, this hypothesis has not been directly tested, and it remains unclear when and how people use external sources to aid their encoding and retrieval of information (Hu & Fleming, 2019).HypothesisIt is predicted that participants will demonstrate diminished memory recall when only using “Google Assistant” in the assessment as compared to those participants that utilize the traditional research methods, and they will show increased fluctuations in heart rate variability as compared to control group participants.    ReferencesAimé, X., Charlet, J., Maillet, D., & Belin, C.
