Study Notes
Multitasking and Attention
- The adaptive control hypothesis suggests that heavy multitasking may enhance some control processes.
- Heavy media multitaskers, as found by Ophir et al. (2009), have a greater likelihood of switching between tasks and are more sensitive to the environment.
- The deadline for submitting reflections on Moodle Discussion Board is not specified.
- Quiz 3 is scheduled, but the exact date is not mentioned.
Attention and Memory
- 80% of young adults report regularly using social media.
- Socrates feared that writing would have negative effects on memory.
- Schneider & Shiffrin's Experiment 1 found that divided attention leads to a performance decrement.
- Participants reported that with practice, divided attention became automatic after 600 trials in Schneider & Shiffrin's Experiment 1.
Driving and Phone Usage
- It is dangerous to be on the phone while driving because it diverts attention away from the road.
Research Findings
- Wiradhany & Nieuwenstein's study found that replication is a problem in multitasking research.
- Henderson et al. suggested that attention to multiple tasks can be improved with practice.
- Gonidis & Sharma highlighted the problem of divided attention in multitasking situations.
Exam 1
- The topic of the upcoming Exam 1 is not specified.
Automatic Processing
- Schneider & Shiffrin's Experiment 2 found that automatic processing can be developed with practice.
