  • These data demonstrate that HMMs are not only less capable of filtering out irrelevant stimuli from their environment, but also are less capable of filtering out irrelevant representations in memory.
  • Collectively, the data suggest that HMMs are less likely to filter irrelevant representations arising from either external or internal sources.
  • Thus, we can rule out differences in working memory capacity between HMMs and LMMs as the cause of differences in cognitive control.

    Stanford U journal article on multi-tasking; sample size: 262 university students Cause or effect is unknown...heavy media multi-taskers were unable to disregard irrelevant external info when accuracy mattered; and were also unable to disregard irrelevant info stored in memory; are these differences in ability to multi-task are due to behaviour (in which case these types of people will have a harder and harder time adapting to changes in how we interact with info and work), or if a new kind of cognition is developing (in which case we have to adapt to their brains)

    I think the approach that we need to consider is how to help students manage their lives (at least their academic ones) with technology. We need to figure out what the parameters are, and then find ways to teach this. A noble and challenging idea since like all of us students are drawn to allure of the digital world. As stated in the article: "If you break off the Internet, so what? They've got 3G on their phones and iPads,'' he said. "Instead, come up with a rule and express it."

    And to help students manage online and real life interactions, teachers need to get that experience first-hand, so they know what it's like. (Yet, governing bodies like the Ontario College of Teachers recently announced teachers should not use any social media.)

    I think that as a group we need to address the issue of how to approach managing wireless technology in the class. Just based on the chatter following the student's presentation and what has surfaced in our own group. If we don't examine this issue then it will end up undermining most of what we try and accomplish.

    I totally agree. I'm not sure if you saw on twitter, but the Coquitlam school district is putting in fibre-optics and will be creating a digital code of conduct so that students can bring/use devices in class.
