Digital multitasking particularly via smartphones and social media fragments attention and reduces sustained focus.
“Multiple studies reported that digital multitasking particularly via smartphones and social media fragments attention and reduces sustained focus [7, 8].”
From Cognitive benefits and risks of digital technology engagement (2025) · cites this paper as [7]
The Introduction (page unavailable) reports an association between passive social media use and co-occurring concentration problems. It does not examine digital multitasking or show that smartphone or social media use fragments attention or reduces sustained focus; the passage also cautions that the association does not establish direction of effect. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMedia multitasking depletes working memory resources, leading to shallow processing and reduced retention.
“Digital Technologies multitasking (e.g., switching between social media and work tasks) directly aligns with the theory’s concept of cognitive load, as divided attention depletes working memory resources, leading to shallow processing and reduced retention [7, 8].”
From Cognitive benefits and risks of digital technology engagement (2025) · cites this paper as [7]
The Introduction discusses associations between social media use, depressive symptoms, and concentration problems, but not multitasking or its effects on learning. Searches for working-memory depletion, cognitive load, shallow processing, and reduced retention found no passage addressing the claimed mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
