Paper Abstract:
|
This research aims to explore the transfer learning of cognitive control skills using mobile applications. We explored whether mobile application can serve as a viable platform in training interference control, specifically the color Stroop task. Mobile phones advantage lies in its portability and its ability to reach many people. Forty undergraduates from the authors university were involved in the experiment. We introduced the use of a mobile application to present training exercises as well as to record answers and reaction times. Half of the participants were given standard logical thinking questions whereas the other half was given different types of Stroop task as a form of training, followed by the color Stroop test as a test of transference. The results showed that mobile app training using different types of Stroop task significantly improved the performance on the color Stroop Task in reaction time. Future studies can explore transfer learning of other types of cognitive control as well as explore our findings for other age groups. |
