Abstract

This review synthesizes 142 empirical studies (2018-2026) examining how generative AI tools alter cognitive load in knowledge work. We find consistent reductions in extraneous load alongside ambiguous effects on germane load, with downstream consequences for skill retention and authorship attribution.

We propose a verifiable cognitive intelligence framework as a methodological response to the attribution gap.
