Abstract
This exploratory study examines the relationship between technological literacy and differences in Implicit Association Test scores measures through the traditional keyboard method and an alternately developed mouse-tracked method. The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate whether technological literacy could function as a significant predictor of changes in IAT scores. Results of this study found that increased comfort with technology predicted a greater change in IAT scores between the two methods being tested, contrary to our hypotheses. This research contributes to the dynamic of technological literacy and cognitive associations, as well as the importance of increased research into implicit biases.
