Note: I use a specific method for my notes using primary logic connectors adapted to my local keyboard layout. To clarify these are the connectors i use ( close to Russel's ) :
! not, negation, does not
& And
!& Not And (NOR)
| Or
1 True
0 False
> implies, results in, is causing
<> Mutual implication, are influencing each others, are intricate
== is the mathematical equality connector, meaning: is equal to, has the value, has the same value as
!== not equal to
D Difference between two objects, the amount of a difference, the total difference from.. to...
E() Ensemble, all the Following, all of these objects
I apologize for the pseudo-cryptic form; but I find it very efficient, and I've been used to it for a long time.
topic == multitask skil
Multitask skill == 0 (cellphones & driving) ||| === rethorical, assertive ===
Methodology
source == OSPAN experiment ?? ||| === clarify ===
Experiment == E(questionnaire > impulsion & sensation & question on media use -> frequency of using 2 OR more media simultaneously & driving habits > quantify cellphone usage while driving)
driving habits results == 13.3% of students
source 2012 cited == 10% of E(adults 16 to 24 y.o) are using their phone at a moment ||| === consistent data with the source ===
Experiment == questionnaire 2 -> self evaluation of multitasking skills == 70% above average
Key Findings
invalid rhetorical figure == 70% is statistically impossible ||| === borderline as introduction ===
previous source again == the inflated self assessment in questionnaire 2 !== only proof
Self reported multitasking student == declared least capable of doing so <-> self reported NOT multitasking == higher score on the OSPAN test ????? === CLARIFY OSPAN TEST ===
The study data == impulsive & sensation seeking student -> multitasking | Exeption == most frequent phone while driving students !== more impulsive
Hypothesis proposed == boredom > phone usage while driving ||| === self reported methodology data bias: response bias & reference bias & conformity bias & performance bias & similar sample demographics ===
Data extrapolation == people multitasking == difficulty to focus on a single task > boredom > seeking stimulation (talking while driving) ||| === little support of the extrapolation from the data | methodology missing ===
Closure == awareness act of speech == source National Safety Council == estimates 24% of highway accidents & death < distracted drivers ||| === distracted drivers undefined ===
=== weak methodology, numerous biases unaddressed and undiscussed, no knowledge of OSPAN test: to research, extrapolation appears backward: opinion bias, cognitive dissonance ? ===
=== Not recommended for sourcing, look further to cross-reference with other sources ===
