In addition to advertisements, should we avoid fiction when we’re distracted?
A good question (though I suspect the simple answer is “no”).
It also brings up the question of whether this is why we generalise from fictional evidence so often.
More generally, it seems we should be avoiding anything while distracted.
It makes sense that it would mess our learning, as it makes attributing cause & consequence confusing.
But it may also mess replaying our learned skills, as it is a big cause of accidents.
