Using Alternative Multiplication Algorithms to "Offload" Cognition / Dan Jazby and Cath Pearn.

When viewed through a lens of embedded cognition, algorithms may enable aspects of the cognitive work of multi-digit multiplication to be "offloaded" to the environmental structure created by an algorithm. This study analyses four multiplication algorithms by viewing different algorithms a...
