CURRENT AND NOTABLE RESEARCH
Larry D. Rosen, Ph.D.
At the present time, my colleagues and I are working on the
following research projects:
- Multitasking
and English Literacy
This study examines the amount and
impact of multitasking in children, adolescents, and adults. In
addition, we are investigating the impact of multitasking and the use
of language shortcuts such as acronyms (LOL) and the removal of
apostrophes (dont) on English literacy (expressive and receptive).
- Preference for Peer versus Expert
Advice on the Internet
This study examines whether adults
prefer expert advice over peer advice on issues of book purchases,
medical information, hotel reservations, technology purchases, etc.
- The
Impact of Dichotic Listening on Adolescents
This study is an attempt to replicate
the Cherry studies in the 1950s that showed how adults lack the ability
to attend to two messages presented simultaneously in different ears.
My colleagues and I have completed the following studies over the
past few years. Click
on any study name to see a summary and discussion of the results
including
tables and figures. We welcome your feedback. Please e-mail me with any
comments that you might have.
