AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: The advancement of digital technology implies the importance of polychronic learning. Since polychronicity is not equivalent to multitasking behavior, they need to be considered separately. However, less research has been explored on how polychronicity is related to multitasking behavior in the educational field.
Objective: To explore the relationships among polychronicity, multitasking behavior and learning performance (including knowledge acquisition and learning satisfaction) in an online learning environment.
Methods: The relationship among variables was analyzed from 865 responses obtained from a questionnaire survey, and independent sample tests and SEM analysis were used to examine the research hypotheses.
Results: College students showed a higher frequency of multitasking behavior, time tangibility and scheduling preference, and learning satisfaction in multitasking online learning environments than high school students. Additionally, college students were different from high school students on the paths of involvement with people to multitasking behavior (Δ = 5.42, = 0.02) and scheduling preference to learning satisfaction (Δ = 9.54, = 0.002).
Conclusion: The relationship among polychronicity, multitasking behavior and perceived learning performance in an online learning environment varies by student educational stage.

Introduction: Multitasking during flights leads to a high mental workload, which is detrimental for maintaining task performance. Electroencephalography (EEG) power spectral analysis based on frequency-band oscillations and microstate analysis based on global brain network activation can be used to evaluate mental workload. This study explored the effects of a high mental workload during simulated flight multitasking on EEG frequency-band power and microstate parameters.

Background: Although evening screen time is thought to impair subsequent sleep, current measures are limited to questionnaires which seem unlikely to accurately assess screen time in youth. Given the ubiquitous nature of digital devices, improving measurement of screen time is required before related health effects can be appropriately determined. The aim of this study was to objectively quantify screen time before sleep using video camera footage.

To explore the direction of the association between smartphone multitasking behavior and comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression (CAD) among college students. College students from one college located in Shanxi, Chongqing, and Shenzhen were selected between October and December 2021 using a multistage random cluster sampling method, and a follow-up visit was conducted in May 2022. The Assessment of Smartphone Multitasking for Adolescents, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Items, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7 Items were used to assess the smartphone multitasking behaviors and CAD of college students.

Multitasking (MT)-performing more than one task at a time-has become ubiquitous in everyday life. Understanding of how MT is learned could enable optimizing learning regimes for tasks and occupations that necessitate frequent MT. Previous research has distinguished between MT learning regimes in which all tasks are learned in parallel, single-task (ST) learning regimes in which all tasks are learned individually, and mixed learning regimes (Mix) in which MT and ST regimes are mixed.
