Abstract

Sustained attention can be defined as being a basic component of attention and being ready for stimuli that develop frequently and unexpectedly over long periods of time. It is important to investigate sustained attention in e-learning environments where individuals spend a long time with digital screens. The aim of this study was to conduct a normative study of a computer-based sustained attention test. In the research, there are 201 participants from two different universities. According to the data obtained from the test developed according to the multi-object tracking paradigm, the sustained attention performance of male participants was higher than that of female participants. In addition to this finding, no significant difference was found between the groups in terms of age variables. With this sustained attention test, pre-evaluations can be made in the process of developing applications that take into
account individual differences in the design of e-learning environments and allow different design proposals to be developed.
