Effects Of Cell Phone Presence And Cell Phone Cues On Inhibitory Control In High School Students

Inhibitory control ability is related to a number of higher cognitive functions,affecting the cognitive development and social development of individuals.For high school students,inhibitory control affects their academic development level,emotional level and stress resistance level.High school students with high inhibitory control ability are accompanied by high academic achievement and high sense of well-being,while students with low inhibitory control ability are accompanied by A series of adverse consequences,aggressive behavior,self-harm behavior,poor learning level.It is important for high school students to have a high level of inhibitory control.However,with the development of society and the improvement of people’s living standards,one smartphone per person has become a social phenomenon.High school students are no exception.Smartphones greatly facilitate their study and social interaction.But it is such a high-tech product that virtually impairs students’ ability to inhibit and control.Previous studies have mostly focused on the effects on attention,memory,and inhibitory control of mobile phone-addicted individuals,and most of the research subjects were college students.Few studies have explored the effects of mobile phones on inhibitory control in the average high school student.In this study,two research paradigms of inhibitory control were used to focus on the effects of mobile phone presence and mobile phone cues on inhibitory control of high school students.Study 1 used the Flanker lateral inhibition paradigm to examine the inhibitory control ability of the two groups of subjects with and without the presence of the mobile phone.The experimental results observed the Flanker effect,but did not observe the effect of mobile phone presence on individual inhibition control.From the data point of view,the average correct rate of the mobile phone presence group was lower than that of the mobile phone absent group,and the average response time was higher than that of the mobile phone absent group.groups,but the difference was not significant.Study 2 used the cue Go/No Go paradigm to examine the inhibitory control ability of high school students when mobile phones are present and mobile phone cues are presented.The results showed that the presence or absence of the mobile phone had no effect on the inhibitory control exhibited by the subjects in the cue Go/Nogo,and there was no difference in the Go response time and Nogo correct rate between the two groups.Under the mobile phone cues and neutral cues,there was a significant difference between the Go response time and the No Go correct rate presented in the experimental results.The following conclusions are drawn from the experiment:(1)The presence of mobile phones does not affect the inhibitory control exhibited by high school students in the arrow Flanker experiment.(2)The presence of mobile phones did not affect the inhibitory control ability of high school students in the cued Go/No Go task.(3)Mobile phone cues have an impact on the inhibitory control of high school students in the cued Go/Nogo experiment.
