Influential work has confirmed screen inferiority in reading tasks that reading on screen is less productive than reading on paper. Recent researches suggest that poor cognitive performance in screen environments may be primarily due to cognitive defects rather than technological flaws. Although some studies have explored screen inferiority in reasoning tasks from cognitive and metacognitive perspectives, related theories have yet to be enriched. Here, we found that screen inferiority exists in reasoning performance regardless of the test format (multiple-choice VS. open-ended), which may result from shallow processing consistent with the previous findings. However, meta-reasoning monitoring showed screen inferiority only in the multiple-choice test format. Our results indicate that the screens exhibit robust inferiority in reasoning scores, while the influence of the media on meta-reasoning may vary with external triggers. Our research may shed light on how to conduct efficient reasoning in the screen age.
有影响力的研究证实了在阅读任务中屏幕劣势，即在屏幕上阅读的效率低于在纸质上阅读。最近的研究表明，屏幕环境下较差的认知表现可能主要归因于认知缺陷而非技术缺陷。尽管一些研究已从认知和元认知角度探讨了推理任务中的屏幕劣势，但相关理论仍有待丰富。在此，我们发现无论测试形式（选择题与开放式）如何，推理表现中都存在屏幕劣势，这可能是与先前研究结果一致的浅层加工所致。然而，元推理监测显示屏幕劣势仅出现在选择题测试形式中。我们的研究结果表明，屏幕在推理得分上表现出明显劣势，而媒体对元推理的影响可能随外部触发因素而变化。我们的研究可能为如何在屏幕时代进行高效推理提供启示。
