Working Memory Dimensions as Differential Predictors of the Speed and Error Aspect of Multitasking Performance (2006, methodology): “WORKING MEMORY AND MULTITASKING 271 The role of reasoning in the prediction of both aspects of multitasking performance was found to be small above and beyond working memory and attention (replicating König et al., 2005).”
A Conceptual Typology of Multitasking Behavior and Polychronicity Preferences (2012, background): “This issue was offered as one possible explanation for the surprising finding that polychronicity (measured by the IPV) had no significant impact on multitasking performance in at least two studies (König et al., 2005; Ishizaka et al., 2001).”
The Multitasking Preference Inventory: Toward an Improved Measure of Individual Differences in Polychronicity (2010, background): “Extraverts, due to their lower baseline level of arousal and higher need for stimulation, tend to prefer situations where they are highly stimulated (König et al., 2005).”
Multiple Tasks' and Multiple Goals' Effect on Creativity: Forced Incubation or Just a Distraction? (2008, background): “The ability to shift the focus of attention from the primary task to an intervening task is also considered an important factor for successful multitasking (Konig et al., 2005).”
Doing It All: An Exploratory Study of Predictors of Media Multitasking (2014, methodology): “Divided attention has been the most widely used construct to explain performance in simultaneous task research (Craik et al. 1996; Konig, Buhner, and Murling 2005).”
Time for Reflection: A Critical Examination of Polychronicity (2010, methodology): “…Plocher, & Liang, 2005; Netherlands: e.g., Kaplan & Waller, 2007; Peru: Espinoza, 1999; Singapore: W. Lee, Tan, & Hameed, 2005; Switzerland: König et al., 2005; United States: e.g., Bluedorn, 2002), who have lauded polychronicity as a key individual difference for performance in…”
