Split attention effect

spends nearly four years of his life looking at his phone. Selfies are a symptom of narcissism. If I want to post an old picture, why must I have to wait until Thursday? Skype is the only face to face communication we choose to have. The average attention span of an adult today is one second less than that of a goldfish. So if you have yet to zone off or pull out your phone, congratulations. We choose not to do what we love, because it doesn 't pay enough. Technology has given us everything we…

With adults as well as children, using the internet over a long period of time has caused our brains to mentally skim pages for the information that we need. Younger adults who have grown up in the technological age, over time have had their brains rewired to skim and therefore their attention spans have suffered because of this. This is also one of the reasons why some…

Tecumseh. The same students raised their hand time and time again. There were students who were sitting quietly watching the Brain Pop Video while a few other students seem to not be paying attention. One boy was looking around to see what his friends was doing. From the video I noticed that many of the students’ attention spans were lost half way through. You could hear papers ruffling in the background giving the thought that maybe the students became bored or they had the need to move. One…

I may be a little slow to the podcast game, but I blame my extremely short attention span. In no way am I a “books on tape” kind of girl, because then I become “daydream-look at the window –miss half the chapter” kind of girl.

help another in a time of need, people need to discern the reasoning of why they believe it is not their responsibility to intervene. The attack in New York City launched a whole new feel of study into something that became known as the bystander effect—why some people can see something bad happened right before their eyes and failed to act.

Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs states individuals must have their basic needs meet first in order to advance forward toward self-actualization. Self-actualization includes creativity, problem…

goes through the atmosphere, to the surface where is it absorbed and radiated again as heat. About ninety percent of gasses in the earth’s atmosphere is absorbed of heat of which is radiated back to the surface. This process is called the greenhouse effect. To continue, humans add a lot of extra gasses into the atmosphere, which warms up the whole place. The gasses mainly responsible for this include CO2( the main one), water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide. The gasses are natural, but too much…
