Claim ID
cognitive-forcing-reduces-overreliance
Assertion
Three cognitive forcing functions — requiring an initial decision before showing the AI suggestion, delaying the AI suggestion, or requiring the user to explicitly request it — significantly reduced overreliance on incorrect AI suggestions compared with plain explainable-AI conditions; participants rated the forcing-function conditions as more effortful and less preferred.
Quote
Through two experiments (N=199 and N=302), we demonstrated that cognitive forcing interventions reduce overreliance on AI compared to the no-AI baseline and simple explainable AI approaches.
