This study examined the effect of exposure to the electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phones on human attention. Three measures of attention were administered to 72 teenagers, 37 of whom were mobile phone users. The results showed that the mobile phone users performed better on one of the three measures of attention than did the non-mobile phone users. The results suggest that exposure to the electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phones may have a mild facilitating effect on attention functions, which is consistent with previous observations that exposure to the electromagnetic field has a facilitating effect on cognitive processing. The possibility that mobile phone users may be naturally better at multiple tasking tasks was discussed.
本研究考察了接触手机发出的电磁场对人类注意力的影响。对72名青少年进行了三项注意力测试，其中37名是手机用户。结果显示，在三项注意力测试中的一项测试中，手机用户的表现优于非手机用户。结果表明，接触手机发出的电磁场可能对注意力功能有轻微的促进作用，这与之前关于接触电磁场对认知加工有促进作用的观察结果一致。文中还讨论了手机用户可能天生更擅长多任务处理的可能性。
