Cómo la IA cambia agencia y carga cognitiva al codificar (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: So in this AI era, this is what is happening. I also created another dashboard, right? So as we are introduced with new technology, our cognitive offload is increased. You may also lose control in terms of decisions that you have to make. One example is qualitative analysis, right? At the beginning, as you can see here, we use pencil, paper, and highlighters to help us to manually code our data. We offload a little bit, right? Because using the pencil and paper help us to not have the task of memorizing or putting all the information that comes to mind in memory. It's going to be too much for you. So you use pencil to underline the areas that you are interested in on the data so that you'll be able to go back again and see where you highlight the significant information that you highlighted. So it saves you time. It saves you the stress of looking for the significant information again from the data because you have already highlighted the place that you are interested in, right? So you offload a little bit, right? So the cognitive offload is a little bit low because using the mental capacity to make sense of your data, identify information that are significant, and develop codes and themes, you do it by yourself. So the cognitive offload is low. And then agency is high because you have control. You make decisions. You identify information that are significant. You develop codes. You categorize the code to develop themes, right? You have direct interaction with the data. And that's why your agency level is good. As you move on to the next one, using Word document and Excel, your agency level is also very high. The cognitive offload is low because you are just using Word document to maybe manually code in your data. But as you are using a qualitative data analysis software, see how you have offloaded a little bit, almost half of your mental attacks, right? Maybe helping you to organize, to search for information, visually establishing relationship between concepts, But as you can also see here, yes, the agency is high. But you have lost your agency a little. But it's not too bad, right? Include AI. See, it's moderately high. You are allowing the AI to suggest code for you, right? So the control over the data analysis process has decreased a little bit compared to when you were using paper and pencil and you are using Word document or Excel spreadsheets.
- Las herramientas de apoyo reducen la necesidad de memorizar y facilitan volver a información relevante (p. ej., subrayado).
- Con métodos manuales (papel/lápiz) la descarga cognitiva es baja y la agencia es alta por el control directo del investigador.
- Word/Excel mantienen alta agencia y baja descarga cognitiva, al ser apoyo principalmente de registro/organización manual.
- El software especializado incrementa la descarga cognitiva (organización, búsqueda, visualizaciones) y reduce ligeramente la agencia.
- La IA incrementa aún más la descarga cognitiva al sugerir códigos, lo que puede disminuir el control del investigador sobre el proceso analítico.
