Özet:

Transactive memory is simply defined as extending your memory to other people and these days technological devices act as a form of memory extension which is dubbed as Google effect. This study aims to examine how this memory extension affects storing information in long term memory and learning. This experimental study consists of eight groups, all of which contains three phases differing from one another; learning phase, N-Back task and learning test. Learning phase includes eight different groups which are recall (30 statements) or recognition memory (45 statements), statements are given verbally or auditorily with save or erase treatment. The aim of save and erase treatment was to create Google Effect. Recall memory test was fill in the blanks test and recognition memory test was multiple choice for the items learnt in the first phase. Regarding recall memory, N-Back cognitive load results did not display significant main or interaction effects except for verbal stimulation in sensory channel which produced controversial results in 2 and 3-Back conditions. Recall memory fill-in-the-blank test of the learnt items did not display main but interaction effect only in terms of reaction time. There was no main or interaction effect in Recognition memory N-back measurement. Recognition memory multiple choice questions did not have a main effect in terms of sensory channel but displayed difference in save erase treatment. This main effect occurred in reaction time in favor of erase treatment which was higher compared to save treatment and opposite results was expected initially.
