Second screening for news: Effects of presentation on information processing and program liking

作者:

Highlights:

• News recall and recognition suffer when using a second screen while watching the news.

• News program liking decreases when second screening.

• A ‘simpler’ second screen format decreases the negative effect only for cued recall, not for recognition and liking.

• The effects can be explained by the increased cognitive load elicited by using a second screen.
