The aim of this study is to differentiate the strategies based on internal memory and external transactive memory when people are facing problems in different difficulty levels, by using a Modified Stroop Task under the Extended Cognition prospective. Two groups of college students with high and low Internet use frequency participated in the experiments.

After answering each group of questions, the participants completed the mod- ified Stroop task. The results show that when facing easy questions, all participants would use their in
