Abstract:
Chronic media multitasking is quickly becoming ubiquitous, although processing multiple incoming streams of information is considered a challenge for human cognition. A series of experiments addressed whether there are systematic differences in information processing styles between chronically heavy and light media multitaskers. A trait media multitasking index was developed to identify groups of heavy and light media multitaskers. These two groups were then compared along established cognitive control dimensions. Results showed that heavy media multitaskers are more susceptible to interferenc

Abstract:
The present study investigated the use of multiple digital media technologies, including social networking platforms, by students while preparing for an examination (media multitasking) and the subsequent effects on exam performance. The level of media multitasking (number of simultaneous media technologies) and duration of study were used as predictors of exam performance in a sample of 441 college students. Analysis of the data indicated that students with low level of media multitasking (0–2 digital technologies) scored significantly better on the exam than students with a high level of med

Abstract:
Introduction The spread of media multitasking in the modern world determines researcher’s interest in studying the neurocognitive development features of children who strive to act in this mode since childhood (Minear et al., 2013; Uncapher et al., 2016). Objectives The aim is to study neuropsychological profiles of children and adolescents with single-tasking and multitasking. Methods Quasi-experiment was conducted among 154 children of three age groups (7-10; 11-13; 14-16) and included simultaneous tasks performance on a computer and a smartphone. Neuropsychological indicators were studied (

Abstract:
The occurrence of social changes to the use of technology in everyday life makes multitasking media behavior increasingly potential for families. The use of these media raises various perceptions and assessments. This study aims to understand the behavior of multitasking media in parents as an initial information base for applying technology in parenting programs. This study describes the types of media, time of use, differences in media behaviour and perceptions of parents, barriers to the use of technology during parenting learning to the relationship between the number of barriers and perce

Abstract:
The effect of media multitasking (e.g., listening to podcasts while studying) on cognitive processes has seen mixed results thus far. To date, the tasks used in the literature to study this phenomenon have been classical paradigms primarily used to examine processes such as working memory. While perfectly valid on their own, these paradigms do not approximate a real-world volitional multitasking environment. To remedy this, as well as attempt to further validate previously found effects in the literature, we designed a novel experimental framework that mimics a desktop computer environment whe

Abstract:
Media and technology are ubiquitous elements of our daily lives, and their use can offer many benefits and rewards. At the same time, decisions about how individuals structure their use of media can be informed by consideration of whether, and if so how, the mind and brain are shaped by different use patterns. Here we review the growing body of research that investigates the cognitive and neural profiles of individuals who differ in the extent to which they simultaneously engage with multiple media streams, or ‟media multitasking.” While the literature is still sparse, and is marked by both co

Abstract:
Media multitasking refers to the simultaneous use of more than one media form (Ophir et al., 2009). This definition has sometimes been inclusive of using media while doing a non-media activity such as interacting with others (Xu et al., 2016). This research examined the relationship between media multitasking, psychosocial well-being and personality traits. Additionally, this research investigated media multitaskers’ emotion processing on three established attention tasks. Existing research has shown that media multitasking is associated with poorer psychological (Becker et al., 2013) and gene

A study by Ophir, Nass & Wagner found that younger adults who are heavy media multitaskers (HMM) perform worse on cognitive measures assessing inhibitory control. Previous findings indicated no benefit to being an HMM, however extrapolating from the aging literature wherein older adults can use distraction beneficially, the authors hypothesized that HMMs might show parallel gains. Two tasks (Reading with Distraction, and the Flanker task) are reported with regard to trait media multitasking preference in undergraduates. As expected, LMMs generally outperformed HMMs, but less consistently th

Abstract This paper proposes a new way of collecting and processing event logs using Active Window Tracking (AWT) to investigate media multitasking (MMT) among students in higher education institutions in Indonesia. Students recorded their computer windows while doing assignments and midterms. Data from the students were preprocessed and structured into event logs. Correlation analysis indicated that MMT has no direct correlation with performance. The PM results revealed that students engaging in MMT frequently switch between assignments, social media, and multimedia. High-scoring students foc

Abstract:
With the rapid advancement of information technology, media multitasking—the simultaneous use of media devices (e.g., computers, smartphones) to perform multiple tasks—has become increasingly common in daily life. Existing studies have indicated that media multitasking affects individuals’ creativity. One limitation of the previous research is that most studies only focused on utilitarian tasks. However, in practical, multitaskers are often attracted by hedonic tasks.The perceived value of a task (hedonic vs. utilitarian) is defined as the extent to which an individual’s intrinsic and extrinsi
