Media multitasking has no impact on task-switching abilities, study finds.
The study looked at how media multitasking affects our ability to switch between tasks. Researchers found that there is no clear link between how much we multitask with media and how well we can switch tasks. They used a large group of people to test this, and found that the ability to switch tasks was not influenced by how much someone multitasks with media. This suggests that media multitasking may not impact our task-switching abilities as previously thought.
