“…Entendemos que acaparar la atención a través de Internet u otros medios forma parte de la vida cotidiana de los y las jóvenes, fundamentalmente considerando su sobre-exposición tecnológica desde edades muy tempranas (D´Antona, Kevorkian & Russom, 2010;Fernández Montalvo, Peñalva, & Irazabal, 2015;INE, 2016). Por lo que, teniendo en cuenta que existe cierta relación entre los rasgos narcisistas y el uso de Redes Sociales como Instagram (Sheldon & Bryant, 2016) y que las autorepresentaciones online de los y las adolescentes son resultado de su autoconcepto sexual (Bobkowski, Shafer, & Ortiz, 2016), colgar contenidos sexuales en la Red puede conllevar una gratificación inmediata a través de los "me gusta" que contribuye a alimentar su propio ego. En este sentido, parece que los y las adolescentes más populares son más propensos/as a llevar a cabo conductas de Sexting (Vanden-Abeele, Campbell, Eggermont, & Roe, 2014), con lo que se podría estar creando un peligroso proceso de retroalimentación que incrementa la práctica de Sexting en la medida que esta contribuye a incrementar la popularidad.…”

Summary Communication and information sharing via social media platforms is a common and popular activity. The majority of existing studies indicate that social media usage has detrimental effects on learning and memory. However, it is an open question as to whether social media usage affects memory even after learning. To test this, healthy young adults learned and immediately recalled a vocabulary list. Subsequent to recall, participants either wakefully rested for 8 min or used social media for 8 min. A delayed recall test took place after the wakeful resting condition and the social media condition and again after 1 day. Our results showed that social media usage, compared with wakeful resting, had detrimental effects on memory performance over both retention intervals. We assume that social media usage interfered with memory consolidation of learned vocabularies and suggest that learners opt for wakeful resting over social media usage as a learning‐break activity.
