“These empirical findings support Annisette and Lafreniere's (2017) Shallowing Hypothesis, which had previously been based on self-reports.”
From Don't throw away your printed books: A meta-analysis on the effects of reading media on reading comprehension (2018) · cites this paper as Annisette & Lafreniere, 2017
In the citing paper
“According to the shallow hypothesis (Annisette & Lafreniere, 2017; Carr, 2010) the frequent use of ultra-brief social media promotes rapid and relatively shallow thought, associated with cognitive and moral shallowness.”
From Do New Forms of Reading Pay Off? A Meta-Analysis on the Relationship Between Leisure Digital Reading Habits and Text Comprehension (2025) · cites this paper as Annisette & Lafreniere, 2017
In the citing paper
“An alternative explanation could rely on the shallowing hypothesis (Annisette & Lafreniere, 2017; Carr, 2010), which emphasizes that the superficial way in which people tend to interact with new forms of digital reading may not support readers' engagement or further development of higher-order cognitive skills.”

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.
