Men and women completed number and language tasks for the study.
Men and women are equally bad at multitasking, according to the authors of a study that debunks the widely held view women are better at juggling jobs.involved 48 men and 48 women who completed language and number tasks. In some tests, the participants had to focus on two tasks at the same time, known as concurrent multitasking, while in others they diverted their attention from one job to another, or sequential multitasking.
Multitasking, including mixing and switching duties, was found to make both men and women equally slower and less accurate., a researcher at Norway's University of Bergen who studies cognitive gender differences and did not work on this study, told:"The findings are a piece in the mosaic: they don't ultimately verify or falsify the stereotype, which has to do with the murky concept of multitasking.
Hirnstein explained:"We all have a vague understanding of what it is, but if you are a researcher and actually want to test it there are myriad ways how to do it." Researchers can choose to look at concurrent and sequential multitasking, and a range of tasks, from those involving computers to real-life tasks that are more difficult to control., we used a virtual reality task and also didn't find any meaningful differences," said Hirnstein."Thus we are in line with the recent article. However, there are also studies that find advantages for women, or even advantages for men.
