ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssaho.2025.102287
"Study suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory. The findings align with cognitive offloading theory and the ‘desirable difficulties’ principle: while AI assistance may ease initial learning, it appears to undermine the effortful processes needed for robust learning."
