Abstract
This study sought to estimate the cognitive impacts of information technolo gy utilization during the first year of college. Controlling for an extensi ve array of confounding influences, the findings suggest that the cognitive impacts of information technology may be more conditional than general; th at is, they differ in magnitude and/or direction for different kinds of stu dents and in different institutional contexts.
