Detailed explanation-1: -The research indicates that media multitasking interferes with attention and working memory, negatively affecting GPA, test performance, recall, reading comprehension, note-taking, self-regulation, and efficiency.
Detailed explanation-2: -There have been many previous studies showing that heavy media multitasking is associated with reduced short-term and long-term memory. This study further corroborated that by showing that heavy media multitaskers are more likely to have increased attention lapses and, consequently, poorer memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract Recent research has identified working memory as a critical component of multitasking ability. These studies showed that working memory accounted for multitasking variance over-and-above that predicted by other cognitive, personality, and experience-based variables.
Detailed explanation-4: -Media multitasking, which can either occur when two types of media are being used simultaneously or when a type of screen media is being used while doing another task (i.e., completing homework and eating dinner), can pose many difficulties to children’s everyday lives (Wallis, 2010).
