More Information
Summary:(2013) showed that processing speed is important for understanding between-person differences in working memory, whereas attention switching is of greater importance to within-person variations. [...]it can be argued that the proper study of the dynamic nature of psychological processes requires repeated observations within individuals (Conner et al., 2009). [...]as measurement devices, smartphones are both powerful and widespread in the population. Because most participants already have their own smartphones, an app is the only thing they need to install to participate in a study (Miller, 2012). [...]an interdisciplinary research approach involving researchers interested in collecting data with smartphones and experts familiar with those forms of data collection, management, and analysis is crucial.
