I reason I work in fields that require multitaskers is because I have very poor memory. The code I was given to work with is incredibly complicated. Few people can work with it. Not having good explicit memory forces me to organize my own work and detect patterns. I describe my ADHD not as being aware of one thing then another thing, but rather, being aware of all things at the same time. Do they compare memory before multitasking and then after multitasking?

You raise a good point - are people multitasking because they have poor memory, or do they have poor memory because they multitask?

That's exactly in line with what the researchers state: "It’s too early to definitively determine cause and effect."
