From Tool Use to Deep Reliance: How Generative AI Induces Cognitive Substitution in University Students — A Grounded Theory Study

Haiying Chen, Mengying Liu, You Yang*

Abstract


Against the backdrop of the rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), college students have widely adopted
GAI tools such as DeepSeek, deeply integrating them into their studies and daily lives. This has led to increasing dependence and a growing
crisis of cognitive substitution. Based on grounded theory and semi-structured interviews with college students from various universities, this
study constructs a formation mechanism model of the transition from tool use to deep reliance. It provides theoretical and practical guidance
for balancing GAI's empowerment in education against the risks of cognitive substitution.

Keywords


Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI); Cognitive substitution; Grounded theory; Dependence; College students
