From the topics provided, I chose to delve deeper into the theme of everyday technology
and cognition. The specific topic I chose to delve deeper into is the effects of scrolling
through social media on various aspects of cognition. I chose this topic due to friends and

Shen, Z., & Pritchard, M. J. (2022). Cognitive engagement on social media: A study of
the effects of visual cueing in educational videos. Journal of the Association for
Information Science and Technology. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.24630
In this study, the authors hypothesize and investigate the effects of optical
prompting and its impact on cognitive encounters when viewing videos on social
media. The authors of this study analyze and differentiate the deliberate visual
cues from the unintentional optical prompts. The authors describe deliberate, or
voluntary, cues as textual and visual signals that intentionally modify one’s
behavior. They also describe unintentional, or involuntary, cues as contrasting
colors or other visual cues that are meant to lead the user without their full
attentiveness.
