Data collection method:	The data set was generated through the conducting of an experimental study. The study involved participants completing a set of executive function tasks pre and post the completion of a media engagement session, either media-multitasking or sequential media engagement. Full details of the study can be found in the forthcoming article. The data was processed using programs such as E-Prime for the Go-No-go tasks, PEBL for the flanker and Trail making tasks and Inquisit for the backwards digit span and backwards Corsi block. Total scores were then transferred to a single SPSS file to conduct the various statistical analyses, also detailed in the publication.
Data processing and preparation activities:	The files in the data set consist of a single SPSS file and an Excel version of the same file. Within the data set there are data for all of the variables detailed in the corresponding paper, in terms of total scores for each variable at each timepoint
