what did the scientists find about participants who reported more media multitasking?
a they had fewer moments where they stopped paying attention
b their pupils were larger, indicating better attention.
c they were more likely to remember if they had seen earlier images.
d they had more moments where they stopped paying attention.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Contradicts typical findings on media multitasking (usually linked to more attention lapses).
• Option B: Larger pupils don't indicate better attention in this context; media multitaskers often have attention issues.
• Option C: Media multitasking is associated with worse memory/recall, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Research shows that higher media multitasking is linked to more frequent mind - wandering or attention lapses, so this matches the expected finding.

Answer:

D. They had more moments where they stopped paying attention.
