"Is AI making us dumber?" This is just the latest version of the "Is [new technology] making us dumber?" question. What can we learn from earlier cases? Consider the calculator. Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, with @samgilbert.bsky.social! Listen: disi.org/cognitive-of...

Yes, cognitive offloading is ancient and ubiquitous—it's just newly salient in the age of age. We just did an episode on this! open.spotify.com/episode/2emj...

Bearing in mind the Warburg Institute’s tradition of studying the art of memory, I really enjoyed this excellent podcast on cognitive offloading—from counting on our fingers to relying on photos, other people and AI. What do we gain or lose? open.spotify.com/episode/2emj...

Which top 5 is of course not the same as my **personal** top 5—but I don't talk about that! (Unless you ask me in person, in which case I'll gladly talk your ear off about it.)

I spoke with @manymindspod.bsky.social about research into cognitive offloading, metacognition, memory, photo-taking, GPS, AI, and why there’s no such thing as “digital dementia”. Thanks so much for having me!

New episode!! 🎉🎙️ A conversation w/ @samgilbert.bsky.social all about cognitive offloading. We humans have long used tools to help us remember and reason. But as new technologies emerge, it's a good time to take stock: What does offloading do for us—and to us? Listen: disi.org/cognitive-of...

A fun episode on one of my favourite topics, cognitive offloading. Offloading (to our body, culture, technology, environment!) is one of the human superpowers, if you may. And now, for better or for worse, it's being taken to the extreme.

One of the most thought-provoking points that @samgilbert.bsky.social makes here is about calculators. Despite widespread fears, calculators do not seem to harm children's math abilities—in fact they improve them. But the timing of the introduction seems to be critical...

This episode of @manymindspod.bsky.social featuring @damianblasi.bsky.social is IMO the best I've listened to, and I'm saying that despite having been a previous guest on the podcast! I'll admit to some bias as a fellow-traveller in this field, but still, it's absolutely a banger!

Often an adolescent female chimpanzee will, one day, strike off from her home territory and try to join the neighbors. She may face rejection and violence and yet try to stay. Why? Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, w/ @rachnare.bsky.social! Listen: disi.org/coming-of-ag...

A truly puzzling behavior. I suggested it might be driven by something like the zugunruhe ("migratory restlessness") that birds experience. @rachnare.bsky.social's proposal was more surprising / interesting...

Had a ton of fun with this one! Touching on: - the enigmatic "pant-grunt" greeting - deference, reassurance, rejection - playing "airplane" - boundary patrolling - the Ngogo "civil war" - social curiosity and how it peaks in adolescence - why adolescent females one day just up and leave home - etc.
