    Generative AI at Work

    A staggered rollout to 5,172 customer-support agents increased issues resolved per hour by 15% on average. Less experienced workers gained most, while the most experienced saw smaller gains and slight quality declines.

    When combinations of humans and AI are useful: A systematic review and meta-analysis

    This preregistered synthesis of 106 experiments and 370 effect sizes found that human-AI combinations underperformed the better standalone agent on average. Outcomes varied materially by task, with losses in decisions and gains in content creation.

    Does the Brain Drain Effect Really Exist? A Meta-Analysis

    A PRISMA-guided meta-analysis of 22 studies and 43 effects found a small overall negative relationship between smartphone presence or use and cognitive performance, with substantial differences by cognitive domain and region.

    Bayesian modeling of human–AI complementarity

    A Bayesian framework models when human and machine classifiers can complement one another while accounting for differences in expressed confidence. The result is useful for hybrid design but is centered on classification tasks.

    Does the Whole Exceed its Parts? The Effect of AI Explanations on Complementary Team Performance

    Mixed-method studies across three datasets found gains from AI assistance, but explanations did not improve complementary performance. Explanations increased acceptance of AI advice whether that advice was correct or not.

    Cognitive Offloading

    This review defines cognitive offloading as using physical action or external tools to reduce internal processing demands. It links offloading choices to beliefs about personal ability and external-aid reliability.

    Searching for explanations: How the Internet inflates estimates of internal knowledge

    Across nine experiments, online search increased participants estimates of their own explanatory knowledge, including on unrelated topics. The studies identify confusion between access to external information and internally held knowledge.

    Cognitive control in media multitaskers

    Heavy media multitaskers were more susceptible to interference from irrelevant stimuli and memory representations and performed worse on task switching. The group-comparison design does not establish causality.
