Abstract
Smartphone use has been examined in a variety of contexts, including their influence on sustained attention. Most importantly, notifications received while completing the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) have led to deficits in sustained attention performance. The present study re-examined this phenomenon by differentiating audio and visual notifications, to examine their individual influence. It was hypothesized that trials that notifications were received would result in slower reaction times across both notification types. Data were collected using the SART in both the fixed and random conditions. Visual pop-up notifications were sent for half the trials, while auditory cues were sent for the other half. Results were in accordance with previous findings, demonstrating an overall effect on sustained attention performance. Furthermore, visual notifications led to more errors than the auditory condition.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
