- Assertion
- Pereira Campos and Koff attribute the coinage of 'cognitive debt' to Kosmyna et al. and warn that it should be kept distinct from 'reduced neural engagement' and 'reduced neural connectivity', which are separate measured quantities.
- Quote
Three terms often get used as if they were one, and they should be kept apart. “Cognitive debt” is Kosmyna et al.'s (2025) coinage, the idea that work handed to AI is paid for later. “Reduced neural engagement” means lower task-related activation while the tool is in use. “Reduced neural connectivity” means weaker coordinated activity between regions
