Small screen and wearable devices play a key role in most of our daily tasks and activities. However, depending on the context, users can easily experience situationally induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs). Previous studies have defined SIIDs as a new type of impairment in which an able-bodied user's behaviour is impaired by the context including the characteristics of a device and the environment. This article systematically reviews the empirical studies on the effect of context on SIIDs. In particular, this review aims to answer the following two research questions: Which contextual factors have been examined in the literature that can cause SIIDs and how different contextual factors affect small screen and wearable device users' performance. This article systematically reviews 187 publications under a framework that has five factors for context analysis: physical, temporal, social, task, and technical contexts. This review shows that a significant amount of empirical studies have been conducted focusing on some factors such as mobility but there still are some factors such as social factors that need to be further considered for SIIDs. Finally, some factors have shown to have significant impact on users' performance such as multitasking but not all factors has been empirically demonstrated to have an effect on users' performance. © 2020 ACM

The Role of Gender and Relative Skills in Task Juggling Büyükboyacı Hanay, Mürüvvet İlknur (2018-01-01) In this article, we examine individuals’ multitasking behaviors and how multitasking affects their performance when they are faced with two different tasks and the tasks are complementary, i.e., multitasking is compulsory. First, we find that when individuals are switching between tasks in such an environment, the process of switching is affected by their gender as well as their relative skill in the tasks. In particular, whereas the frequency with which men and women switch between tasks is relatively simi...
Effect of cognitive task difficulty on postural control Gürsoy, Zeren Görkem; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2019) Human posture control is accompanied usually in daily life with other tasks, such as cognitive tasks. This thesis is on the effects of cognitive task difficulty on postural control, the postural control mechanisms, attention and its relation to posture control and finally the dual task environments for posture control. The experiment’s set an individualized difficulty level for each participant. Results indicate that when motor and challenging cognitive tasks are completed under dual task conditions, dual t...
Exploring the factors affecting consumer intention to use wearable mobile devices to track health information Pancar, Tansu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2021-9) The popularity and usage of wearable devices is increasing as a consequence of their increasing capabilities. These devices collect various types of health related data with increasing accuracy. Collected data is used by consumers to track their own health data in addition to being used by health professionals to support medical diagnosis and treatment. This research investigates the factors affecting the adoption of wearable devices to track health information. The UTAUT2 model was used as the basis for th...
Identifying critical success factors for wearable medical devices: a comprehensive exploration Degerli, Mustafa; Yildirim, Sevgi Ozkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-10-01) For healthy living, the successful use of wearable medical devices such as smartwatches, smart clothes, smart glasses, sports/activity trackers, and various sensors placed on a body is getting more important as benefits of these devices become apparent. Yet, the existing knowledge about the critical success factors for wearable medical devices needs to evolve and develop further. The main objective of this research is to distill salient constructs to enhance the successful use of wearable medical devices. S...
Attitude towards Mobile Learning in English Language Education Yurdagül, Cemil; Öz, Saba (MDPI AG, 2018-9-10) <jats:p>Mobile devices, especially smart phones, are the most frequently used technological devices for daily routines. Mobile devices can be used for various purposes to meet different needs. Since education is a core requirement for human beings, smart phones are being integrated into education. However, it remains to be seen whether they have an impact on learning or not. Consequently, integration of these technologies, or “mobile learning”, has become a popular research study in the field of instruction...
