Multitaskers Are Bad At It

The Best Multitaskers Are the Ones Who Dont Do It

Resaerchers studied 262 college undergrads. They were placed into two groups: low multitasking, and high multitasking. Results show that the students of the low multitasking group were actually better at multitasking than the other group. The students took a series of tests that challenged their multitasking skills. High multitaskers love trying to process information that does not matter which takes them longer to accomplish tasks. They also think too much about the tasks they are doing which slows them down. Are people bad at multitasking as a result of multitasking too much, or are they multitasking too much because they are bad at it?
