Cell-Phone–Induced Driver Distraction
David L. Strayer,Frank A. Drews +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of hands-free cell-phone conversations on simulated driving and found that even when participants looked directly at objects in the driving environment, they were less likely to create a durable memory of those objects if they were conversing on a cell phone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetically produced dissolved organic carbon: An important carbon source for planktonic bacteria1
TL;DR: A serial filtration technique was used to estimate microbial assimilation of photosynthetically produced dissolved organic carbon (PDOC) in Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, and suggests that PDOC is an important source of carbon for planktonic microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Who Multi-Tasks and Why? Multi-Tasking Ability, Perceived Multi-Tasking Ability, Impulsivity, and Sensation Seeking
TL;DR: The findings suggest that people often engage in multi-tasking because they are less able to block out distractions and focus on a singular task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eight questions about invasions and ecosystem functioning
TL;DR: I pose eight questions central to understanding how biological invasions affect ecosystems, assess progress towards answering those questions and suggest ways in which progress might be made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passenger and cell phone conversations in simulated driving
TL;DR: The results show that the number of driving errors was highest in the cell phone condition; in passenger conversations more references were made to traffic, and the production rate of the driver and the complexity of speech of both interlocutors dropped in response to an increase in the demand of the traffic.
