Beyond the smartphone's mere presence effect: A quantitative mobile eye tracking study on the visual and internal distraction potential of smartphones

作者：

Highlights：

• This study used mobile eye tracking glasses to assess participants' visual attention to smartphones.

• We did not find significant performance differences between those with a smartphone present versus absent.

• Participants only looked at their smartphones between tasks, but not when working on the tasks.

• This study suggests that people can regulate their visual attention to smartphones.
