• Does multitasking with mobile phones affect learning? A review (2016, background): “Cain and Mitroff (2011) identified that heavy media multitaskers have a wider attentional scope to ignore taskirrelevant information than low media multitaskers (Cain & Mitroff, 2011).”
• The consequences of media multitasking for youth: A review (2015, unknown): “One study found that HMMs appear to be less able to selectively attend to a specific target compared with LMMs, r = (cid:2) .36 (Cain & Mitroff, 2011).”
• Smartphones and Cognition: A Review of Research Exploring the Links between Mobile Technology Habits and Cognitive Functioning (2017, background): “Moreover, Cain and Mitroff (2011) found that the link between distractibility and media multitasking habits was associated specifically with individual differences in the scope of attention [and not differences in working memory; see also Yap and Lim (2013) for related results].”
