The Cognitive Effects of Smartphones

Known/Examined Effects - Decreases memory storage - Obstructs working memory - Harms the effectiveness of fluid intelligence

Even having the phone in close proximity. . . “the mere presence of consumers’ smartphones can adversely affect… cognitive capacity… without interrupting sustained attention or increasing the frequency of phone related thoughts”(Ward et al. 149)
