Research On The Effect Of Working Memory On College Students' Experience Of Boredom

There is a close relationship between working memory and human high-level cognitive activities,and studies have shown that there is a significant positive correlation between working memory and satiation,that is,the higher the working memory capacity,the higher satiation;the lower the working memory capacity,the lower satiation.This study focuses on the college students,explores the applicability of this conclusion,and explores the impact of working memory training on improving working memory capacity and accelerating the speed of satiation.Then,based on the above conclusions and model put forward by Drugeon and Wigniolle,this study focuses on the repeated stimuli associated with the use of the Internet,and investigates that whether working memory training can improve the satiation regarding repeated stimuli in the process of Internet use,reduce the pleasure of Internet use,and then alleviate the degree of Internet addiction.This study consists of three experiments.In study 1(A),a 2-back paradigm was utilized and ten geometric figures were used as materials to measure the working memory of the subjects.Similarly,the Eprime software,ten famous paintings were used as stimulating materials to measure the satiation of the subjects.Then the preliminary discussion was made on whether working memory and satiation were significantly positively correlated among Chinese college students.In study 1(B),the Simon game replaced the 2-back paradigm to measure working memory,and,the famous songs replaced famous paintings to measure satiation.Here,different measuring tools and stimulating materials were utilized to verify whether the conclusion is universal.In study 2,the self-compiled 2-back paradigm and the mobile APP-n-back were used to conduct a comparative study.The experimental group received a one-week working memory training.The control group did not receive any training,and investigated whether the working memory training could improve the level of working memory and accelerate the satiation of repeated stimuli.Study 3 was designed to explore whether working memory training could improve satiation in regard of repeated stimuli in the process of Internet use,reduce the pleasure of Internet use,and alleviate the degree of Internet addiction.The study found that:(1)There is a significant positive correlation between working memory and satiation among Chinese college students,that is,the higher the working memory,the higher the satiation;the lower the working memory,the lower the satiation.(2)The working memory training can improve the level of working memory,speed up the fatigue of repeated stimuli;(3)The conclusion that working memory is significantly negatively correlated with the satiation applies to Internet addiction disorder,the higher the working memory,the lower the Internet addiction disorder,and Internet addiction disorder can be alleviated through working memory training,.In conclusion,the conclusion that the working memory is significantly positively correlated with satiation is verified among Chinese college students.It also studies the relationship between working memory training and working memory capacity on the basis of existing research.At the same time,it also studies repeated stimuli accompanied by the process of network use,and explores whether working memory training can improve satiation in regard of repeated stimuli in the process of Internet use,reduce the pleasure of Internet use,and then alleviate the degree of Internet addiction.
