Abstract Cognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing number errors in task. Owing to its ubiquity real-world scenarios, existence offloading strategies reduce cognitive is not new experts nonexperts, many these involve technology (e.g., using Calendar Apps remember scheduled events). Surprisingly, little known about potential use humanoid robots for offloading. We will examine studies assessing influence on tasks requiring resolution conflict determine whether their presence facilitates or hinders performance. Our analysis focuses standardized paradigms, effectively simulate real-life scenarios (i.e., everyday challenges focusing ignoring distractions). In studies, were involved by either participating tasks, providing social cues, observing human By identifying contexts where support they may undermine it, this work contributes deeper understanding processes human–robot interaction (HRI) informs design interventions aimed at improving well-being professional HRI settings.
