Digital Stress over the Life Span: The Effects of Communication Load and Internet Multitasking on Perceived Stress and Psychological Health Impairments in a German Probability Sample (2017, background): “More recently, research on media multitasking (e.g., David, Kim, Brickman, Ran, & Curtis, 2015) has also adapted theories of information processing with a particular focus on concurrent multitasking, such as the threaded cognition model (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008).”
Efficiency of learning vs. processing: Towards a normative theory of multitasking (2020, background): “…task-speciﬁc representations) by sets of tasks, rather than common reliance on a central con-trol mechanism (Allport, Antonis, & Reynolds, 1972; Feng, Schwemmer, Gershman, & Cohen, 2014; Navon & Gopher, 1979; Meyer & Kieras, 1997; Musslick et al., 2016; Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008; Wickens, 1991).”
Polychronicity and Multitasking: A Diary Study at Work (2015, background): “…multitasking from another angle, namely, with a focus on mechanisms and processes involved in parallel cognitive activities, such as recognizing a visual or auditory pattern, retrieving memory content, choosing a motor response, or carrying out a tracking operation (e.g., Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008).”
Does multitasking with mobile phones affect learning? A review (2016, background): “Salvucci and Taatgen proposed a unified theory of human multitasking, which aim to account for both concurrent and sequential multitasking (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008; Salvucci, Taatgen, & Borst, 2009).”
Multiple Resources and Mental Workload (2008, background): “Both EPIC (Kieras, 2007; Meyer & Kieras, 1997) and a model of threaded cognition (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008) invoke multiple resource constructs within perceptual modalities to account for dual-task interference patterns.”
Fear of missing out (FOMO): overview, theoretical underpinnings, and literature review on relations with severity of negative affectivity and problematic technology use (2020, positive): “Essas notificações podem resultar em experiência diária de distração e menos concentração, prejudicando a atenção [11] e interrompendo o trabalho, os estudos [12, 13] e outras atividades da vida diária [14] devido aos “custos de alternar”, o que dificulta o retorno e a conclusão da tarefa em questão”
The consequences of media multitasking for youth: A review (2015, positive): “Second, several cognitive learning theories assume that using multiple streams of information decreases information processing as a result of people’s limited cognitive capacity (Lang, 2000, 2006; Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008; Salvucci & Taatgen, 2010).”
An Empirical Examination of the Educational Impact of Text Message-Induced Task Switching in the Classroom: Educational Implications and Strategies to Enhance Learning (2011, background): “The second part of Salvucci et al.’s theory involves Threaded Cognition Theory (Salvucci & Taatgen, 2008) which allows for multiple tasks to be performed concurrently.”
Causes, effects, and practicalities of everyday multitasking (2015, background): “Salvucci and Taatgen (2008) proposed an integrated theory of concurrent multitasking, Threaded Cognition, that proposes a serial procedural resource (i.”
The myths of the digital native and the multitasker (2017, background): “Salvucci and Taatgen (2008) refer to this as threaded cognition (i.e., alternating blocks of procedural processing and processing peripheral resources) where: Cognition maintains a set of active goals that produce threads of goal-related processing across available resources.”
