        The same Turkish foreign language learners of a university preparatory school (N=35) were tested twice on the same preintermediate reading passage within one month interval. In the first condition students were given the reading test (pre-test) during the class time upon watching a documentary on wild life for 40 minutes. After a month before they were given the same reading test (post -test) in the same classroom setting, they were shown mental pollutants - a compilation of various videos with violent, scary, erotic, and comedic content from popular video-sharing websites for 40 minutes. It was hypothesized that mental pollutants would contaminate students' mind by distracting emotional states and slowing mental processes and thus impeding the comprehension of foreign language reading material. The statistical results based on T-test Paired Samples Statistics and One- Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test show that exposure to mental pollutants remarkably results in poor L2 reading comprehension.
        Bir üniversitenin hazırlık sınıfındaki aynı Türk öğrenciler (N=35), alt orta seviyedeki aynı okuma parçasıyla bir ay arayla 2 kere test edildi. İlk durumda öğrencilere 40 dakikalık bir vahşi yaşam belgeseli izletildikten sonra ders sırasında okuma parçası verildi (ilk test). Bir ay sonra aynı sınıf ortamında, öğrencilere aynı okuma parçası (son test) verilmeden önce 40 dakika boyunca ünlü video paylaşım sitelerinden toplanmış şiddet, korku, erotik ve komedi içerikli zihinsel kirliliğe yol açacak videolar gösterildi. Varsayılan şey zihin kirliliğinin öğrencilerin dengelerini bozarak zihinsel fonksiyonlarını dağıtarak öğrencilerin hafızasını yavaşlatacağı ve dolayısıyla yabancı dilde yazılı okuma parçasını anlamaya da engel olacağıdır. Eşleştirilmiş iki grup arasındaki farkların testine ve tek grup Kolmogorov-Smirnov testine dayalı istatistiksel sonuçlar zihin kirleticilere maruz kalmanın yabancı dildeki okuma parçasını anlamada fark edilir derecede olumsuz etkilere neden olduğunu göstermiştir.
