Illustration of the pattern copy task. The task of the participants is to copy the pattern from the model window (upper left) to the workspace window (upper right) by dragging-and-dropping the corresponding squares from the resource window (lower right). When participants move the black slider to open the model window, the workspace and resource windows are covered by gray masks (B & E). When the participants touch the white bar opening in order to uncover the workspace and resource window, the model window is masked (C & D). Cognitive offloading is indicated by an increasing number of openings of the model window
