    "title": "The Role of Feedback in Cognitive Offloading during Human-Computer Collaboration",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Cognitive offloading refers to the usage of physical actions to reduce the cognitive load of a task. This study investigates cognitive offloading in a multiple object tracking (MOT) task, in which participants could decide whether they wanted a computer partner to track targets on their behalf. Depending on the experimental condition, participants either received team performance feedback or not. In all conditions, participants knew that the computer partner would track targets flawlessly. We hypothesized that feedback would change participants' metacognitive assessments such that they would maximize performance (i.e., changing their strategy by offloading more or all targets to the computer partner). We find that participants do offload targets to the computer partner in all conditions. Yet, performance feedback did not increase the extent of cognitive offloading. While these findings dovetail with previous findings, future studies are needed to definitively rule out whether performance feedback has an effect on cognitive offloading.",
