Are some skills more vulnerable to loss than others?
Does it matter whether you're a novice or already an expert when you start to use AI?
And what can workers do to make sure they're using AI in ways that help rather than hinder their learning and development?
Welcome to Speaking of Psychology, the flagship podcast of the American Psychological Association that examines the links between psychological science and everyday life.
I'm Kim Mills.
My guest today is Dr.
Brooke McNamara.
Dr.
McNamara is an associate professor of psychological sciences at Purdue University, where she directs the Skill, Learning, and Performance Laboratory.
Her work explores how people acquire skills and expertise in professions ranging from elite sports to medicine.
She looks at how practice, training, cognitive abilities, the environment, and other factors affect skill development.
She's currently studying how AI may affect learning and performance, and she recently spoke with APA's magazine Monitor on Psychology for an article on the topic.
Doctor McNamara, thank you for joining me today.
Thank you, I'm thrilled to be here.
I mentioned in the introduction that people have worried about losing skills to technology before.
Can you talk about that?
I mean, how have we offloaded certain tests to technology and is AI in any way different from these previous technologies?
Do we know yet whether we're losing skills to AI, especially in the workplace, or is it still too early to to know?
So speaking of whether Google makes us stupid, um, I mean, uh that's an interesting article and actually dates to 2008.
