We argue that scientific studies have not directly assessed the key cognitive processes affected by smartphone use. We propose that smartphone use can be disruptively habitual, with the main detrimental consequence being an inability to exert prolonged mental effort. This inability might negatively affect real-life creativity and domain-specific knowledge acquisition.
我们认为,科学研究尚未直接评估受智能手机使用影响的关键认知过程。我们提出,智能手机的使用可能会习惯性地让人分心,其主要的不利后果是无法长时间集中精力。这种能力缺失可能会对现实生活中的创造力和特定领域的知识获取产生负面影响。
