Zustand: Sehr gut. 286 pgs. Very good, clean and fresh copy. - Most of us will freely admit that we are obsessed with our devices. We pride ourselves on our ability to multi- task-read work email, reply to a text, check Facebook, watch a video clip. Talk on the phone, send a text, drive a car. Enjoy family dinner with glowing smartphones next to our plates. We can do it all, 24/7! Never mind the errors in the email, the near-miss on the road, and the unheard conversation at the table. In The Distracted Mind, Adam Gazzaley and Larry Rosen-a neuroscientist and a psy- chologist-explain why our brains aren't built for multitasking, and suggest better ways to live in a high-tech world without giving up our modern technology. The authors explain that our brains are limited in their ability to pay attention. We don't really multitask but rather switch rapidly between tasks. Distractions and interruptions, often technology related-referred to by the authors as "interference"-collide with our goal-setting abilities. We want to finish this paper/spreadsheet/sen- tence, but our phone signals an incoming message and we drop everything. Even without an alert, we decide that we "must" check in on social media immediately. Gazzaley and Rosen offer practical strategies, backed by science, to fight distraction. We can change our brains with meditation, video games, and physical exercise; we can change our behavior by planning our accessibility and recognizing our anxiety about being out of touch even briefly. They don't suggest that we give up our devices, but that we use them in a more balanced way. + + + / Contents: Acknowledgments -- Prologue -- I Cognition and the Essence of Control -- Interference -- Goals and Cognitive Control -- The Brain and Control -- Control Limitations -- Variations and Fluctuations -- II Behavior in a High-Tech World -- The Psychology of Technology -- The Impact of Constantly Shifting Our Attention -- The Impact of Technology on Diverse Populations -- Why Do We Interrupt Ourselves? -- III Taking Control -- Boosting Control -- Modifying Behavior -- Notes -- Index.
