Performance on the working memory tasks. a. Light media multitaskers (LMMs; blue) exhibited better working memory performance (K; left panel) than heavy media multitaskers (HMMs; red). This was driven by better discriminability (d’; middle panel) to detect differences between the presence or absence of a change in orientation of the target rectangles, and not a more liberal decision bias to endorse a change (C; right panel). b. This overall pattern was similar when the WM task required trial-unique objects to be held in mind: WM performance (K; left panel) was better for LMMs than HMMs, and this performance was driven by discriminability (d’; middle panel) and not decision bias (C; right panel).
