Adam Dubé, PhD, Associate Professor of Learning Sciences at McGill University, stated: "These types of systems tend to help us learn better in the moment. They tend to help us write better in the moment. But once they’re gone, we actually didn’t learn the underlying fundamental skills. We didn’t learn how to generate ideas. We didn’t learn how to summarize and deeply read. We didn’t learn how to explain concepts to ourselves. We let these systems do it for us and they didn’t give us the opportunity to practice doing that ourselves. When we talk about cognitive offloading, it’s that actual effortful practice that doesn’t happen because we have a system doing it for us that results in us being less skilled in the long run."
