The peer-reviewed evidence base does not yet support the cognitive-decline claim, and it does not yet support the opposite claim either. Two scientific questions remain open: whether structured human-governed AI use accelerates cognitive development, and what augmented intelligence is in practice. This methodological audit specifies the standards the field would have to meet, scores the existing evidence against those standards, and offers HAIA-RECCLIN Reasoning, HEQ with AIS, and a five-arm randomized controlled trial design as testable counter-proposals.

HAIA-RECCLIN: Reasoning and Dispatch
Third Edition for Human AI Governance Get the PDF Here Executive Summary HAIA-RECCLIN is an operational methodology for governing AI output through structured human oversight. It comprises two capabilities: Reasoning, a ten-field output format that forces any AI platform to show its work, cite its sources, score its own confidence, flag its own conflicts, and […]
Checkpoint-Based Governance (CBG): A Constitutional Framework for Human-AI Collaboration
The Four Constitutional Properties Property 1Primary Purpose CBG is AI Governance. It provides human oversight and accountability for AI-assisted work. CBG’s primary purpose is to supply the governance layer that sits on top of single-platform AI output and that makes RECCLIN dispatch and CAIPR parallel review into governed learning systems rather than AI frameworks alone. […]
Measuring Augmented Intelligence
Theoretical Foundations and Empirical Development of the Human Enhancement Quotient (HEQ) and Augmented Intelligence Score (AIS) Executive Summary (PDF here for Mobile Users) Augmented intelligence, as defined by Gartner, is the recognized partnership model of humans and AI enhancing cognitive performance together. Organizations have invested heavily in that model. No cross-platform, behavior-anchored, governance-integrated instrument exists […]
