Attention Span
Gloria Mark draws on two decades of research into attention, distraction, and the effects of digital media on everyday work and life.
What the source reports
- The work examines multitasking and interruptions in digitally mediated activity.
- It frames attention as a limited resource affected by the conditions in which people work.
Why it matters here
Chapter 2 makes attention fragmentation visible as part of the hidden cost of repeatedly rebuilding understanding.
Guided Intelligence interpretation
The source does not endorse Guided Intelligence. It supports the chapter's emphasis on the cognitive cost of interruption and repeated reconstruction.
