“…One study estimated factor scores at pretest and posttest separately and analyzed these estimates using univariate methods (Bergman Nutley et al, 2011). Two studies implemented the correlated vectors approach, introduced by Jensen (1998;Colom et al, 2010;Redick et al, 2013).…”

“…Thus, these kinds of designs require a specific model of transfer that allows for the prediction of positive but also the prediction of absent transfer. That is, if researchers contrast the effects of improved working memory and perceptual speed on fluid intelligence (e.g., Colom et al, 2010), and argue for a positive relationship between working memory capacity and intelligence (Conway, Kane, & Engle, 2003;Kyllonen & Christal, 1990), they should also predict the absence of beneficial effects of increased perceptual speed on fluid intelligence. At least, they need to specify ways to distinguish differential impacts of the two abilities.…”

■ ABSTRACT: This literature review aims at articulating evidence from behavioral and neuroimaging studies on multitasking, where at least one of the tasks is a linguistic one. Simply put, multitasking is the handling of more than one task at the same time by a single person. Findings from six behavioral and five neuroimaging studies were articulated with the literature to corroborate two hypotheses longstanding in the field, that (1) multitasking results in one task being performed more poorly than when performed alone (PASHLER, 1994;SCHMIDT, 2001), and that (2) multitasking is a matter of synchronizing and utilizing more efficiently the available neural resources (SALVUCCI; TAATGEN, 2011; JUST; BUCHWEITZ, 2014). The selected studies investigate simultaneous listening comprehension and driving; listening comprehension and performing mental rotation tasks; dichotic listening comprehension; reading/attending a lecture and messaging; bilingualism; the role of intelligence and working memory capacity; the effects of training; and choices across generations. Findings from the reviewed studies corroborate the literature and add support that less voxels in a network of brain areas are activated in multitasking than in single tasking. Implications of such findings for education were also discussed in the review. Future studies may light the path by showing the brain mechanisms that allow and limit multitasking, the effects of learning under conditions of distraction as well as how teaching may evolve to keep up and guide the new generations.■

“…There have been many treatments of this issue in aviation, process control, and air traffic control (Colom, Martinez-Molina, Shih, & Santacreu, 2010;Loukopoulos, Dismukes, & Barshi, 2009;Mumaw, Roth, Vicente, & Burns, 2000;Wickens, 2002). Over the last 10-15 years, concerns about some of the consequences of multiply-threaded work have emerged in the healthcare domain.…”
