Summary
The paper investigates the impact of reading on a smartphone versus a paper medium on cognitive function, finding that reading on a smartphone results in fewer sighs, overactivity in the prefrontal cortex, and reduced comprehension.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores how reading on a smartphone versus a paper medium impacts cognitive function, specifically reading comprehension and brain activity in the prefrontal cortex.
Education and learning: The study's findings have implications for education and learning, as they suggest that the medium on which material is read can impact comprehension and cognitive load.
Well-being: The paper indirectly relates to well-being, as it suggests that the use of smartphones for reading could negatively impact cognitive function and potentially cause overactivity in the prefrontal cortex.
