    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The purpose of these studies was to investigate the role of\ndistributed cognition in defusing the impact of evaluative\npressure caused by performance-approach goals on mental\narithmetic performance. Performance-approach goals can\ngenerate worrying thoughts that can deplete working memory\nresources. However, some of these working memory\nlimitations can be compensated by off-loading the internal\ncognitive process to the external environment. We tested this\nprediction in two experiments. Participants carried out modular\narithmetic tasks in a performance-approach goal or mastery-\napproach goal condition crossed with interactivity or no\ninteractivity. Performance-approach goal manipulation\nhampered cognitive performance (accuracies), (Experiment 1).\nHowever, these negative effects were defused with the help of\ninteractivity (Experiment 2). Interestingly, the mastery-focused\nindividuals had a performance drop in the interactive condition\n(Experiment 1 and Experiment 2). Finally, experiment 2\nreported higher maths anxiety levels for the performance-\nfocused individuals. Reasons for the findings and future\nimplications will be discussed.",
