摘要：

This study investigated the relationship between ASVAB scores and multitasking performance in Navy Sailors. Sailors performed a "synthetic work" task designed to simulate demands for multitasking common to many different jobs, as well as elementary cognitive tasks designed to measure two mental processes-the ability to update the contents of working memory (memory updating) and the ability to switch flexibly between tasks (task switching). Structural equation modeling revealed that a general factor of ASVAB subtest scores positively predicted multitasking. Furthermore, memory updating partially accounted for this relationship and added incrementally to the prediction of multitasking, above and beyond the ASVAB.
