Abstract (Swedish)
I denna studie undersökte vi korrelationen mellan fallenhet till multitasking och minnesprestation i episodiska minnesuppgifter för detaljer och associationer. Hypotesen var att personer med hög fallenhet till multitasking skulle prestera bättre i minnesuppgifter gällande minnen för associationer, och personer med låg fallenhet till multitasking skulle prestera bättre i minnesuppgifter gällande minnen för detaljer. Vi rekryterade 30 deltagare i åldern 20-31 år. Inledningsvis besvarade deltagarna MMT-R-scale som ett sätt att mäta benägenhet till multitasking. Huvudexperimentet bestod av fem block innehållande 8 händelser vardera. Eventen, som visades 15 sekunder vardera, bestod av sex AI-genererade bilder som visades tillsammans på en skärm... (More)

Huvudexperimentet bestod av fem block innehållande 8 händelser vardera. Eventen, som visades 15 sekunder vardera, bestod av sex AI-genererade bilder som visades tillsammans på en skärm med följande kategorier: namn, flagga, mat, djur, huvudstad och konst. Tillsammans utgjorde de imaginära länder. Efter att deltagaren hade sett alla event i ett block hade vi en distraktionsuppgift, följt av 30 frågor om vad de hade sett. 15 frågor handlade om detaljer och 15 om föreningar. Vi fann ingen korrelation mellan fallenhet till multitasking och minnesprestation i de två typerna av episodiska minnesuppgifter. (Less)
Abstract
In this study we investigated the correlation between inclination to multitasking and memory performance in episodic memory tasks for details and associations. The hypothesis was that people with a high inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regarding memories for associations, and people with a low inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regarding memories for details. We recruited 30 participants aged 20-31. Initially, the participants answered the MMT-R questionnaire as a means to measure their inclination to multitasking. The main experiment consisted of five blocks containing 8 events each. The events, shown 15 seconds each, consisted of six AI-generated images shown together on a... (More)

We recruited 30 participants aged 20-31. Initially, the participants answered the MMT-R questionnaire as a means to measure their inclination to multitasking. The main experiment consisted of five blocks containing 8 events each. The events, shown 15 seconds each, consisted of six AI-generated images shown together on a screen in the following categories: name, flag, food, animal, capital and art. Together they composed imaginary countries. After the participant had seen all events in a block, we had a distractor task followed by 30 questions about what they had seen. 15 questions were about details and 15 about associations. We found no correlation between inclination to multitasking and memory performance in the two kinds of episodic memory tasks. (Less)
