VerifiedThe theory of "cognitive offloading" in psychology states that when external tools take over a cognitive task over the long term, the corresponding neural circuits in the brain weaken due to lack of activation.77% similarUnverifiedThe core argument of cognitive reserve theory is that the brain's functional redundancy can be accumulated through long-term cognitive activity, giving the brain greater resilience when facing aging or pathological changes.77% similarUnverified长期高压工作会导致前额叶皮层功能下降和杏仁核过度活跃，慢性皮质醇升高会损害海马体神经可塑性75% similarUnverified人类工作记忆的维持依赖于前额叶皮层对信息的持续激活，注意力被打断后激活会迅速衰减74% similarUnverifiedResearchers distinguished passive fatigue from active distraction: the former is mental numbness produced after long periods of monitoring an automated system, while the latter is actively directing attention to other tasks; the two combined leave drivers unable to take over in time when the system suddenly disengages.73% similar
