- Аннотация: The mnemonic “Google-effect” consists of a tendency to forget information after the command “save” is assigned to a computer (Sparrow, Liu, Wegner, 2011). Although this phenomenon is well-documented, there is still much to learn about, especially in the context of the discussion about the impact of digital technologies on higher cognitive functions. The present study explores whether the “Googleeffect” would remain if the participant has an explicit mnemonic goal to remember the material. In other words, we studied how the interaction between computer operations and the participant’s goals affects the recall of the material. We employed within-subject design with two independent variables: “mnemonic goal” (remember; do not remember; no clear goal as a control condition) and “operation” (save; delete; skip as a control condition); and one dependent variable (the delayed choice of a stimulus). Seventy student volunteers (10 males) took part in the computer game requiring identifying themselves with a private detective. At Session 1 the participants were exposed by a set of photographs representing possible offenders, criminal instruments, and pieces of evidence. Each photograph was accompanied by a combination of a mnemonic goal and a computer command, e.g. “remember + save”. A week later, at Session 2 the participants were instructed to choose one out of four given stimuli (previously exposed + a distractor) relying upon their intuitive feeling of the wrong and right answers. According to the generalized linear model based on the absolute number of stimuli choice per participant, the significant effect of “operation” (Zw = 15.208, p < 0.001) may be revealed. There is no significant effect neither for “goal” (Zw = 1.127, p = 0.569) nor for “operation”-“goal” interaction (Zw = 8.54, p = 0.074). There is a significant difference between “save” and “delete” values of “operation” variable (Zw = 11.993, p = 0.001, B = 0.811). Taken together, the data show that the participants remember stimuli followed by “delete” operation significantly better regardless the goal, which was performed. Thus, contrary to our predictions, the “Google-effect” appears to have a universal influence on the level of recognition despite to the goal to remember.
