Different kinds of internet use may have different consequences for the way cognitive processes unfold. Experience (1) and agency (2) are two key dimensions of mind perception. The internet is perceived as a hive mind, a vast compendium of continuously updated information. This device is used for finding and learning various kinds of information. Computers are also able to channel the presence of other people who we could interact with offline. The transactive memory system refers to a model that expands the cognitive psychology metaphor of a single computer processor in a network of processors and has since expanded to accommodate the incorporation of actual computers into the system, which allows us to access the collective knowledge stored on the internet. The transactive memory becomes stress when the ‘where to find it’ changes. People do not properly remember information when they have the opportunity to look it up. When people have highly memorable trivia and an unmemorable location of finding it, they remember one of the two but not both (i.e. knowing where to find it but not the answer). People appear to be prioritizing remembering where to find information rather than remembering the information itself. Distributive practice refers to the repeated exposure to the same or meaningfully similar information over time. Repeated exposure to information improves the memory of that information. Repeated learning of information is retained longer when it is spaced apart in time compared to spending the same amount of time learning in one go. People feel more confident about their future performance and their cognitive ability in general when they have access to the knowledge of the internet. Solving problems creatively involves not utilizing the most accessible or dominant solution. When solutions lie outside of the range of one’s own expertise, creative problem solving declines. Divergent and holistic processing is needed to solve...
