Abstract
We investigated the role of a construct we call “placekeeping ability” in multitasking. Participants performed a test of placekeeping called the UNRAVEL task, and a test of multitasking. Placekeeping ability had a moderate effect of multitasking, and this effect was not moderated by use of a memory-based strategy in UNRAVEL.
