Abstract: This paper focuses on the memory transmission phenomenon of virtual humans in a post-human context and its profound influence on human cognition. As digital entities become increasingly integrated into daily life, the boundaries between biological memory and artificial data storage are blurring. Through the comprehensive application of literature research and case analysis, this paper systematically explains the relevant theories of post-humanism, virtual humans, memory communication, and human cognition. Additionally, this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the memory construction, storage, and communication mechanisms of virtual humans, detailing how artificial intelligence algorithms facilitate the emulation of human-like recall and experiential sharing. It discusses the reconstruction effects these mechanisms cause in cognitive, self-cognition, and social cognition modes, particularly how individuals perceive their own identities and interact within digital ecosystems. Furthermore, it analyzes the ethical dilemmas and social and cultural challenges arising from this technological shift, proposing corresponding strategies to ensure responsible innovation and harmonious societal adaptation. The research indicates that the memory communication of virtual humans is fundamentally reshaping the cognitive system of human beings. Consequently, this necessitates proactive coordination among technology developers, educational institutions, and policy makers to achieve a sustainable balance between rapid technological development and the healthy, ethical development of human cognition.
