Knowledge generalization and the costs of multitasking.
Garner KG, Dux PE. Garner KG, et al. Nat Rev Neurosci. 2023 Feb;24(2):98-112. doi: 10.1038/s41583-022-00653-x. Epub 2022 Nov 8. Nat Rev Neurosci. 2023. PMID: 36347942 Review.
Traditionally, empirical and theoretical investigations into the sources of such multitasking interference have largely focused on multitasking in isolation to other cognitive functions, characterizing the conditions that give rise to performance decrements. ...In s …

Monitoring and control in multitasking.
Schuch S, Dignath D, Steinhauser M, Janczyk M. Schuch S, et al. Psychon Bull Rev. 2019 Feb;26(1):222-240. doi: 10.3758/s13423-018-1512-z. Psychon Bull Rev. 2019. PMID: 30066081 Review.
In this theoretical position paper, we explore whether, and how, this principle might be involved in multitasking performance, as well. We argue that several kinds of conflict-control loops can be identified in multitasking at multiple levels (e.g., the response lev …

Efficient multitasking: parallel versus serial processing of multiple tasks.
Fischer R, Plessow F. Fischer R, et al. Front Psychol. 2015 Sep 8;6:1366. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01366. eCollection 2015. Front Psychol. 2015. PMID: 26441742 Free PMC article. Review.
In the context of performance optimizations in multitasking, a central debate has unfolded in multitasking research around whether cognitive processes related to different tasks proceed only sequentially (one at a time), or can operate in parallel (simultaneously). …

Social media multitasking (SMM) and well-being: Existing evidence and future directions.
Xu S, Wang Z, David P. Xu S, et al. Curr Opin Psychol. 2022 Oct;47:101345. doi: 10.1016/j.copsyc.2022.101345. Epub 2022 Apr 17. Curr Opin Psychol. 2022. PMID: 35779452 Review.
Despite the prevalence of social media multitasking (SMM), its effects on well-being have received little attention. Of the nine studies that directly examined this topic, six found a negative relationship between SMM and well-being variables, and three found mixed or no e …
