To save time, many students “speed-watch” video lectures (play them at faster-than-original speed). Numerous studies have evaluated the effect of video speed on learning, concentrating on aspects such as comprehension and satisfaction. Yet few researchers have considered metacognitive impacts of speed watching, especially within the context of a complex learning environment. In this study, we investigated the relationships between video playback speed, interruptions, and learning performance. Learning was assessed using measures of recognition, elaboration, and confidence. We presented participants with lectures at 1x and 1.5x speeds, with or without interruption. Results revealed that speed-watching did not impair recognition performance, nor did it hinder elaboration. Interruptions hampered elaboration, regardless of video speed, leading to acceptable memory for content, but weaker connection of the newer material to other relevant memory content. Additionally, speed-watching resulted in less confidence in learning, <em>except</em> when interruptions were present. We discuss potential speed-watching effects on attention and metacognition, i.e., that attention was increased, albeit at the expense of confidence. We encourage students to consider their learning environment when choosing to speed-watch. Less confident learners may adjust strategies in ways that defeat the time advantage gained by faster playback.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 108556"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventy-six French eighth graders completed tasks assessing their AToM, lexical quality, Working Memory (WM) updating, and sourcing abilities.

Trained participants were compared to an active control group that was taught a comprehensive understanding of misinformation. Three skill-based and two knowledge-based dependent variables were assessed at three measurement points. Results indicated that strategy training participants outperformed controls at both posttest and follow-up-test in their sourcing ability, demonstrated through increased discernment between credible and non-credible sources, as well as in corroborating misleading online claims. Additionally, the strategy training group demonstrated enhanced metastrategic knowledge about sourcing and corroboration. Contrary to the hypotheses, the training did neither improve performance in corroborating deepfake and genuine videos, nor did it reduce metastrategic knowledge about utilizing superficial appearance evaluation strategies for identifying deepfakes. The findings suggest that experienced teachers can effectively implement learning materials designed to cultivate evaluation strategies with moderate preparation efforts, yielding robust educational benefits for students.

Trust and perceived usefulness positively impact consumer engagement, while privacy concerns do not. Unexpectedly, AI-enabled personalization doesn't significantly affect customer engagement. By exploring the mediating roles of consumer perceptions, the results emphasize perceived utility and trust as a significant mediating factor, underscoring its crucial contribution to fostering positive interactions between users and technology. The research extends the SOR model in understanding AI's impact on consumer engagement, emphasizing trust and perceived usefulness as crucial mediators.

Consistent with existing research, misinformation carried more negative emotions, particularly disgust and anger, compared to true information, while positive emotions were notably suppressed. Importantly, over time, misinformation became increasingly negative, a trend that was not observed for true information. Furthermore, we found a decreasing trend in positive emotions for misinformation, which was not mirrored in true information. These temporal sentiment dynamics were not attributable to differing content dynamics, as there was no evidence that the dominant narratives of false and true stories evolved differently. These findings underscore the importance of studying the temporal dynamics of online (mis)information; however, as our data was limited to fact-checked stories, it may not fully represent all information shared online.
