Human–Agent Teaming for Multirobot Control: A Review of Human Factors Issues (2014, background): “[145] also demonstrated the relationship between video game experience and multitasking performance.”
Does working memory training generalize (2010, background): “…people who are high in WMC are less likely to mind-wander when focus is needed (Kane et al., 2007a), are better multi-taskers (Buhner et al., 2006; Hambrick et al., 2010), are more skilled at engaging in effortful regulation of emotion (Schmeichel, Volokhov, & Demaree, 2008), and are more adept…”
No evidence of intelligence improvement after working memory training: a randomized, placebo-controlled study. (2013, methodology): “Finally, the fourth possibility (see Figure 4D) is the null hypothesis—none of the groups show differential improvement on the intelligence tests; this result would be consistent with the eight-session study of Jaeggi et al. (2008), but here with 20 practice sessions.”
