Abstract

With recent development in technology, media multitasking is an ever-increasing phenomenon. Although most studies associate frequent media multitasking with poorer cognitive performance, findings in the literature have been mixed, with some studies suggesting the opposite. The aim of the current study was to
investigate the relationship between media multitasking, dual task ability and inhibitory control.
