Why Multitask is a Myth

Are Women Better in Multitasking than Men?

Have you ever done schoolwork or work while watching television? Or maybe driving a vehicle while listening to our favorite songs on Spotify? It is now commonplace to do two or more activities at the same time. Moreover, technology that has become so sophisticated makes us able to move from one activity to another quickly. The following is an explanation of some research related to multitasking.

Multitasking also increases the possibility of making errors or mistakes in carrying out tasks. The reason is that when we multitask, we find it harder to filter out irrelevant information. In addition, our brain takes four times longer to recognize one task or one particular thing, so that when we multitask, it takes more time to complete these tasks.

Not only that, shifting attention from one activity to another can have an impact on memory decline. This is because we cannot see detailed information when the attention process or our attention is working to move from one activity to another.

We couldn’t say men or women is better in multitasking because our ability to multitask is also determined by the type of task (whether it requires spatial or verbal abilities) and how difficult the task is. In these studies above, there are still some other variables that can potentially affect the multitasking performance such as the social economic status, intelligence, and females’ phase of the monthly cycle which were not assessed and controlled in the current study.
