I think there is a kind of expectation going on here, too. We anticipate this fragmentation........interruptions. From the expectation of a commercial break in watching narrative TV -- we've accelerated to cpa. Im not sure Im making sense here, but I noticed this with students as well, at the polish national film school where i taught for five years. An inability to focus on any extended narrative. And films now tend to incorporate a montage (editing) version of cpa. Excellent piece. I think there is a kind of expectation going on here, too. We anticipate this fragmentation……..interruptions.

I've been using your phrase "continuous partial attention" ever since I learned about it from you. I think it captures the state of many of today's students (especially). I see it all the time at Rutgers and noticed it at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh before that. Excellent analysis! Good to see your blog, Linda!
