- - - - This study explored predictors of multitasking performance.
        
        Based on cognitive psychology
        research, attention and working memory were assumed to be predictors.
        
        Fluid intelligence,
        
        Polycronicity
        
        Extraversion
  - - - Effects
        
        Increased efficiency using Working Memory
        
        Instead of expanded capacity, transfer can also be
        mediated by the acquisition of knowledge and skills (i.e.,
        strategy usage, chunk learning, and automatization of basic
        processes) during training, leading to a more efficient use
        of the WM capacity available.
        
        In contrast to expanded
        capacity, enhanced efficiency is expected to be materialand/or
        process-specific
        
        Strategies to increase efficiency of doing a particular task such that it takes up less WM capacity
        
        Chunking
        
        Automatization of basic processes
        
        Increased Working Memory Capacity
        
        There is a link between the Resulting brain signatures after training working memory and the brain signatures in high capacity individuals.

      - Working Memory:
        A cognitive system providing temporary access to representations needed for complex cognition in the present moment.
        
        Several studies indeed reported increased reasoning
        scores following different forms of WM training, indicating
        that fluid intelligence—so far believed to be a
        fixed trait—could be malleable after all
