Rewarding Multitasking: Negative Effects of an Incentive on Problem Solving Under Divided Attention
Research has consistently shown negative effects of multitasking on tasks such as problem solving. This study was designed to investigate the impact of an incentive when solving problems in a multitasking situation. Incentives have generally been shown to increase problem solving (e.g., Wieth & Burns, 2006), however, it is unclear whether an incentive can increase problem solving while attentio...
متن کاملDivided Attention=Diminished Uptake? Multitasking with Computing Devices at Presentations
For colloquium style presentations where audience attention is voluntary, computing devices present an interesting conundrum. Audience members may benefit from simultaneously using a device to take notes or perform other tasks while still attempting to pay attention to the lecture, but the device may also distract its owner, other audience members, or the speaker. We report on two studies of th...
متن کاملGraphical displays: implications for divided attention, focused attention, and problem solving.
When completing tasks in complex, dynamic domains observers must consider the relationships among many variables (e.g., integrated tasks) as well as the values of individual variables (e.g., focused tasks). A critical issue in display design is whether or not a single display format can achieve the dual design goals of supporting performance at both types of tasks. We consider this issue from a...
متن کاملContextual Cueing under Divided Attention Spatial Context Learning Survives Interference from Working Memory Load Contextual Cueing under Divided Attention Contextual Cueing under Divided Attention
The human visual system is constantly confronted with an overwhelming amount of information, only a subset of which can be processed in complete detail. Attention and implicit learning are two important mechanisms that optimize vision. This study addresses the relationship between these two mechanisms. Specifically we ask: Is implicit learning of spatial context affected by the amount of workin...
متن کاملEffects of bilingualism, aging, and semantic relatedness on memory under divided attention.
We examined how encoding and retrieval processes were affected by manipulations of attention, and whether the degree of semantic relatedness between words in the memory and distracting task modulated these effects. We also considered age and bilingual status as mediating factors. Monolingual and bilingual younger and older adults studied a list of words from a single semantic category presented...
