Baseline Nomophobia and Ambulatory Cognitive Performance in Adults’ Daily Lives

This project examines whether baseline nomophobia, or distress related to being unable to access one’s mobile phone, is associated with objective cognitive performance in adults’ daily lives. Using data from the Lifelong Development Program at Penn State, the study focuses on repeated smartphone-based assessments of processing speed and visuospatial working memory across a 10-day ecological momentary assessment burst.

Methods / Approach: Ecological momentary assessment; measurement-burst design; smartphone-based ambulatory cognitive assessment; Symbol Search; Grid Memory; linear mixed-effects modeling

Output: Manuscript under preparation for journal submission
