  • says the study supports the commonsense idea that we use external tools to remember information.
  • She notes, however, that many of the results are at the threshold for statistical significance, and says the study should be seen as suggestive rather than conclusive.

  • The experiments suggest that we are less likely to remember facts when we know they can be easily looked up online, the researchers say. This conclusion is an extension of an idea proposed some 30 years ago by Sparrow's mentor (and a coauthor of a paper describing the latest work), Daniel Wegner, of Harvard's psychology department.

  • According to Science, we're not necessarily losing our ability to remember things. Rather, the internet is changing how we remember.
  • People are recalling information less, and instead can remember where to find the information they have forgotten."

  • The results from all four experiments suggest that people expect computerized information to be continuously available, and actually remember less when they know they’ll have access to it later.
  • We also seem to remember where we can find information instead of the information itself.
