Inattention over time-on-task: the role of motivation in mitigating temporal increases in media multitasking by Allison C. Drody, Effie J. Pereira, James Danckert, Daniel Smilek

“…In modern contexts, this gradual fading of attention can manifest as increases in media multitasking over time. Across two studies, we investigated whether increasing individuals' motivation to perform well on a task mitigates temporal increases in media multitasking.MethodStudy 1 re-analyzed data from a previously published study which provided participants with standard or motivating instructions before having them complete a sustained attention task with the option to media multitask. …”
