Competing hypotheses:
Hypo 1: Newspaper reporter who either subscribes to Attention, Perception,&
Psychophysics or hits the academic library for story ideas every month, comes
across a story titled, "Cognitive pitfall! Videogame players are not immune to
dual-task costs" and reads it carefully to find the connection to multi-tasking
while driving.
Hypo 2: Reporter at newspaper in North Carolina near where study was done
(at Duke) reads a PR writeup of the study as published by the university at:
http://dibs.duke.edu/news/research-findings/2012/06/14/videogamers-no-better-at-talking-while-driving/
The PR writeup includes the headline: "Videogamers No Better at Talking While
Driving".
Parsimony rules.
Curses! I am wrong again! Damn you Froman! ;-)
