Cover Story: Cognition is a major predictor of job performance, but why? Here, using psychometric network analysis, we found that fluid intelligence (Gf) and an aspect of cognition we call placekeeping largely explain the relationship between ASVAB scores and job-relevant multitasking. By contrast, the contribution of attention control was near zero. We also found that Gf and placekeeping substantially added to the prediction of multitasking alongside the ASVAB score, whereas the incremental effect of attention control was weaker. We theorize that the role of Gf in multitasking concerns strategy development, while that of placekeeping reflects strategy implementation. Our results suggest that Gf and placekeeping subtests would improve the validity of the ASVAB. View this paper
