Cognitive offloading occurs when environmental affordances expand cognitive capacity as well as facilitate spatial and social behaviors. Yet capacity-related constraints are also important, particularly as an embodied agent comes online during development. Vast differences in brain size and offloading capacity exist across the tree of life. Taking a developmental perspective, we utilize several concepts from cybernetics and the evolution of development to understand how we might determine the proportion of internal model (brain) to externalized processing (offloading) in a developing embodied
