Most people think they are good at multitasking, but a study from the University of Utah shows that people who are more likely to multitask, including talking on a cell phone while driving cope with it worse than others.
“What worries us is that people who talk on their cell phones while driving tend to be worse at multi-tasking,” says David Sanbonmatsu, professor of psychology and lead author of the study. “According to our data, those people who, while driving, talk on the phone, perhaps they should not do this. We have shown that people who are most likely to multitask at the same time are the ones least capable of multitasking effectively."
David Strayer, another lead author and professor of psychology at the University of Utah, adds: “People who are most prone to multitasking seem to have a better ability to multitask than others, when in reality their ability is not any better, and often even worse than average.”
Quoting humorist Garrison Keillor's famous line about kids in Keillor's fictional hometown, Strayer says that people who use cell phones while driving "everyone thinks they live in Lake Wobegon, where everything is above average. But it's statistically impossible."
The study involved 310 psychology students who had to take a series of tests and complete a series of questionnaires to measure their actual error tolerance, perceived error tolerance, use of a cell phone while driving, use of a wide variety of media, and measure personality traits. such as impulsivity and thrill seeking.
Key discoveries:
“People who are most capable of multitasking effectively are not among those most likely to multitask.” Instead, those who score high on true multitasking tests tend not to multitask, as they are better able to focus on the task at hand.
· The more often people multitask, talking on the phone while driving or using multiple media at the same time, the more they lack true multitasking ability, and their perceived multitasking ability "appears to be vastly overestimated". In fact, 70 percent of the participants thought their ability to multitask was above average, which is statistically impossible.
People with high levels of impulsivity and thrill seeking reported multitasking more than others. However, there was an exception: Those who talk on the phone while driving do not tend to be impulsive, indicating that using a cell phone is a conscious choice.
· According to the study, people who resort to multitasking often do so not because they have the ability to do so, but "because they find it harder to block out distractions and focus on one task."
Summing up, the scientists say that: "The negative connection between communication via cellular communication while driving and the ability to perform several tasks at the same time provides additional reasons for imposing restrictions at the legislative level on the use of cell phones while driving."
Sanbonmatsu and Strayer conducted research with University of Utah coauthors Jason Watson, associate professor of psychology, and Newton Mideiros-Word, PhD student in psychology. The study was funded by the Foundation for Traffic Safety of the American Automobile Association.
How the study was conducted
The scientists say that while people often multi-task, “relatively little is known about when and why people engage in more than one attention-demanding task at the same time. Regarding this, little is known about who is most prone to multitasking.”
The participants in the experiment were 310 psychology students at the University of Utah—176 females and 134 males, with an average age of 21—who volunteered to help out in their department's subject for extra points on top of their grades.
To measure actual error tolerance, participants performed a test called Operation Span, or OSPAN. The test includes two types of tasks: memorization and mathematical calculations. The participants had to memorize between two and seven letters, each separated from the other by a mathematical example, which the participants must determine as correct or incorrect. A simple example of a question: 2+2=6?, r, 3-2=2?, a, 4x3=12?". Answer: true, r, false, a, true.
Participants were also asked to report the level of their multi-tasking ability they felt they had on a scale from zero to 100, with a median of 50%.
Participants reported how often they use a cell phone while driving and what percentage of their driving time they talk on the phone. They also answered questions about what media they use and for how many hours, including print media, television, video, computer video, music, non-music audio, video games, telephone, instant messaging, text messaging, email, internet and other software such as text editors. The results were used to compile the Media Multitasking Index.
Who performs several tasks at once and why?
The researchers looked for significant associations between scores on various tests and questionnaires.
“People who are more likely to multitask are more likely to be impulsive, thrill-hungry, overconfident in their ability to multitask, and most likely to be the worst at multitasking,” says Strayer, summarizing the results.
The 25 percent of people who performed best on the OSPAN multitasking ability test "are the ones who are least prone to multitasking and most likely to do one thing at a time," says Sanbonmatsu.
On the contrary, 70 percent of the participants said that their ability to multitask was above average and they were more likely to multitask.
“One of the main reasons people multitask is because they think they're good at it,” says Sanbonmatsu. "But our research shows that people's abilities are rarely as good as they think they are."
The ability of people to multitask at the same time, as identified by the OSPAN test, is strongly and negatively associated with the simultaneous use of media and talking on a cell phone while driving, which means that people who are more likely to multitask at the same time have the least this ability.
"When you see someone doing multiple things at once, you might think they're good at it," Strayer says. “In fact, the more often they do it, the more likely they are to do it poorly.”
Sanbonmatsu adds, “Our results show that people tend to multi-task because they find it difficult to focus on one task. They get involved in new things. … They get bored and want to be stimulated by talking on the phone while they are driving.”
Study participants reported spending 13 percent of their driving time talking on their cell phones, which is roughly the same as the government estimate of one in ten drivers talking on the phone at any given time.
Simultaneous use of several media, with the exception of talking on the phone while driving, was significantly associated with impulsivity and in particular with inability to concentrate and rash actions. Impulsive people are more quick-thinking and risk-taking, so they may worry less about the cost of doing more than one thing at a time, scientists say.
Multitasking, on the other hand, including talking on the phone while driving, was largely associated with the desire for thrills. Some people do more than one thing at once because it gives them more incentive, it's more interesting, more difficult and less boring, although this can be detrimental to the overall result.
Two University of Utah professors, David Sanbonmatsu and David Strayer, and a car simulator they used as part of their study on cell phone use while driving. In a new study, Sanbonmatsu and Strayer found that people who multitask most often have the least ability to do so. This also applies to those who talk on the phone while driving.
On a couple:
Teacher: - Alexander, how can you write and listen to music at the same time?
Alexander: -By the way, it has long been proven that music stimulates brain activity and helps to assimilate material.
Teacher: - Yes, I also saw a program in which they said that thanks to music, the cows on the farm had excellent milk yields ...
XX: need to organize at home
XX: what is half duplex communication?
YY: This is a sequential mode - when one speaks, the second must listen. They cannot listen/talk to each other at the same time.

Where did proverbs come from?
Never wondered where some of the expressions that have already become
sayings? People hear a catchy expression somewhere, remember it,
use themselves ... And off we go. Now sayings are born in
mainly from the replicas of the heroes of popular films and statements
politicians. In the past, the situation was about the same, except for the fact that
There was no TV or movies. Many sayings came to us from ancient Rome,
where oratory was at its best - respectively, and linguistic
many pearls were born. However, over time, many sayings
lost some of the words, as a result of which their meaning has changed somewhat.
A textbook example: not everyone knows that the Roman proverb "In
healthy body - a healthy mind "was completely sounded like this:" In a healthy body -
a healthy mind is a rare success." :)
Below we will talk about the famous saying that "Caesar can do
three things at once". Recently I found out where this phrase came from. After all, it seemed
would, scientists proved that a person, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the brain,
can only engage in one type of intellectual property at a time
activities: i.e., say, writing and speaking at the same time
impossible. Neither one nor the other will really work. And then Caesar, on you,
three things at once can ... How? Genius?
... In ancient Rome, gladiator fights were not just entertainment, they
carried an important religious message. In fact, these were
sacrifices to the gods. Therefore, those who did not go to fights were looked at
rather askance - something like in Russia they look askance at those who do not drink vodka
drinks :) Gaius Julius Caesar was just one of those whom gladiator fights did not
interested. Probably because he couldn't stand the sight of blood, more like
because after all the wars he conducted, gladiator fights looked
just like backyard football after the World Cup. However, as
"life consul" he was forced to attend the battles. Populism in
those years were much cooler than now :) In order not to waste time, Caesar in
his box was engaged in work with correspondence. (At that time the head
states received as many paper letters as we all now
comes electronic, but there was no spam then :)) So, when
one of the close people reproached Caesar - how can he at the same time
watch fights, and write letters? - Gaius Julius invariably answered, not tearing
eye from the letter that "Caesar can do not only two, but even three
things at the same time - and watch fights, and write letters, and talk."
This is how the EXCUSE eventually became a SAYING.
(Information taken from the book "Life of 12 Caesars" by the ancient author Gaius
Suetonius Tranquill).
Unfortunately, it is a common thing for residents of both megacities and provincial towns. The vast majority of people fail to successfully combine work, leisure, hobbies and personal life, and at least half of them would not refuse a forty-eight-hour day. Alas, this is possible only in the imagination of science fiction writers: mankind has not yet learned to manage time so masterfully.
A radical way out - to simply reduce the number of cases, leaving only the most important - is, of course, not suitable for everyone. Not everyone is ready to give up walks with friends and evenings with family in favor of a dizzying career, and vice versa.
A more modern, it would seem, approach is multitasking, that is, solving several cases at once. In the end - why not? Studies have long proven that the brain is ten times more powerful than any computer in existence today, and even the simplest computer is able to manage several programs at once.
As tempting as the prospect of imitating Julius Caesar may seem, you shouldn't get too carried away with it: it may turn out that multitasking is not as effective as you think. We did a little research and found out if it is still possible to do several things at the same time, and, most importantly, whether there is at least some benefit from this: that's what we came up with.
Why multitasking damages the brain: study results
I don’t want to upset those who like to do three things at once, but I have to: recently published results of a study have finally confirmed that multitasking harms the brain.
After conducting a curious experiment with two different age groups (youth and middle-aged people), scientists found that the younger generation, on average, copes with the tasks set ten percent faster (the participants in the experiment were asked to decipher the numbers in the photo in a special way) when nothing distracts them.
But when all sorts of notifications came into play, coming to the mobile phone, which, according to the condition of the experiment, remained with the participant, the youth showed the same results as older people who were not distracted: the time to complete the task increased.
What things can be done at the same time
Despite such sad prospects, it is still possible to do some things at the same time. The main requirement for such tasks is simple: they should require a minimum of your attention and participation in the execution process.
If you, for example, came home from work, there is nothing wrong with putting on an electric kettle and doing the dishes yourself: you are unlikely to be so exhausted that you forget to pour the right amount of water.
But if you put a pot of milk on the stove, and you yourself decided to thoroughly clean your computer from viruses, unnecessary files and everything else, get ready for failure: either your milk will “run away”, or you will be forced to be distracted every now and then, and the process of doing both tasks will slow down significantly.
As you can see, it is impossible to unequivocally determine whether it is possible to do several things at the same time and still be in time for everything. A lot depends on both the capacity of your brain and the type of tasks you want to do. Only one thing can be said: doing something that requires high concentration at the same time as something else is more expensive for yourself. Most likely, worsen the result for one and the other task.
However, it is still possible to master the simultaneous execution of some cases. However, in addition to desire, brain “pumping” may be required: it may turn out that current resources are not enough to support multitasking.
Many people think that you can train the brain only with the help of boring cramming, a pile of thick books and long educational films, but in reality this is not so: it is quite possible to pump the brain by training the body. So you will get a double benefit: you will achieve both an attractive appearance and a “pumped” brain, capable of operating with a much larger volume of cases and tasks than before.
Tell us what you think about this: do you think multitasking is harmful for the brain, or not? Does it affect the quality of the result of the task being performed? Why?
