Primes

• Cognitive Offloading
  • In education it is scaffolding — manipulatives, worked-example sheets, formula sheets — which externalises cognitive structure so the learner can attend to higher-order patterns, with over-offloading preventing internalisation (the calculator-dependency debate).

    This sourceMeta-analysis of 54 studies on calculator use in mathematics learning — the empirical core of the calculator-dependency debate over externalizing computation versus internalizing skill.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
