Two types of multitasking costs:

00:15

Type 1: Switching Cost

00:17

Type 2: Mixing cost

00:20

Switch RT - Repeat RT = Switching Cost

00:23

RT= Reaction Time

00:23

Mixed RT - Pure RT = Mixing Cost

00:31

Hypothesis: We believe that users of “TikTok” are better at multitasking in comparison to non “TikTok” users and that they will have significantly lower scores in task switching and mixing costs when completing the multitasking experiment.
