How does multitasking while studying (e.g., listening to music while reading, or texting while reading) influence attention to course material?

Revisit the Module One Areas of Interest and Practical Applications in Cognitive Psychology discussion topic, where you examined your interests, potential problems, and applied settings related to cognitive psychology. Building on those conversations, draft a topic suggestion by identifying your particular area of interest in cognitive psychology (attention, learning, memory, language, or decision making), select an applied setting (education, law, mental health, or technology), and describe the contemporary problem as it relates to your topic and setting. Last, draft three potential research questions that explore potential improvements related to your topic and the applied setting.

For example, if you suggested the topic of attention and online students, the applied setting would be education, and you might develop the following research questions:

• How does multitasking while studying (e.g., listening to music while reading, or texting while reading) influence attention to course material?
• How do individuals with ADHD perform in an online learning environment, and what strategies can help them succeed?
• What strategies can teachers and students use to increase attention to relevant material in an online course?

Memory and technology By the due date assigned, respond to the Discussion Assignment. Post your response to the Discussion Area. Your answer should:  Provide detailed evidence, including excerpts from the literary text. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the themes, genres, cultures, time periods, and texts that are this week’s focus. Apply APA style guidelines to the source material.  Question:  Sappho and Murasaki Shikibu represent the first two female authors we have encountered in this course. In your Week 1 paper, you were asked to consider how gender is portrayed in The Odyssey. Additionally, in our Week 2 reading of Antigone, gender roles played a pivotal part in the conflict between Creon and the daughter of Oedipus. Selecting either the poems of Sappho or The Tale of Genji, offer a discussion of how either author portrays or defines the cultural roles of men and women. How does this understanding of gender differ from the works of the ancient Greek writers we have read?  Remember that your claims in all parts of the assignment should be substantiated by excerpts from appropriate sources (scholarly research and/or literary texts). Quotes, paraphrases, and summaries used in the assignment should be arranged according to APA rules of style, and in-text and reference citations should be provided, also formatted in APA style. Quoted material should not exceed 25% of the post. Submit the final document in the Discussion Area.
