Abstract People tend to forget information once they offload it to an external reminder such as a written note or computer file. However, the neural basis for this so-called “Google effect” or “digital amnesia” is unknown. We used fMRI to ask: (A) to what extent does brain activity overlap between cognitive offloading and deliberate forgetting, and (B) what is the neural fate of offloaded information?
Abstract Background Previous evidence suggests that higher cognitive performance may buffer the negative effects of insufficient subjective energy availability (SEA) on physical activity (PA) engagement. However, regional differences in opportunities, social norms, and contextual demands across Europe may influence this relationship, indicating that the interplay between SEA, cognition, and PA may not be universal.
ABSTRACT The relationship between metacognition and memory in aging is complex, with older adults often expressing memory concerns yet sometimes displaying overconfidence in prospective memory (PM) tasks. This study examined how metacognitive judgments of PM performance are influenced by the reference point used (self vs. peers), the timing of metamemory assessments (before vs. after PM task), and subjective age.
