- yorwba 7y agoThe citation for lowering test scores is probably supposed to be PISA, which doesn't get listed in the footnotes, so who knows which report he got it from. The citation for harming long-term memory is https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01443410.2018.1489046 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01443410.2018.1... which specifically investigates the distracting effect of allowing the use of phones and laptops during class for purposes other than the class itself. (Ironically, the in-classroom questions had to be answered electronically.)
- yorwba 7y agoHaving now looked at http://www.oecd.org/pisa/publications/pisa-2018-results.htm http://www.oecd.org/pisa/publications/pisa-2018-results.htm I didn't find anything like the figure included in the article, nor any indication PISA actually involves collecting information about technology use, which makes me wonder how reliable that article's statements really are.
