Supertaskers: Profiles in extraordinary multitasking ability.

The theory is that all drivers who use mobile phones at the same time should reduce driving. But, does this combination of dual task weaken all people? We tested 200 participants of the high fidelity driving simulator under single task and dual task conditions. The dual task involves driving while running a strict auditory version of the OSPAN assignment. The majority of participants showed significant performance degradation under dual task conditions (as compared to single task conditions or OSPAN missions of operation) and 5% of samples did not show performance degradation in single task and dual task execution It was. Under single task conditions, these "super users" acquired the top quartile of all dependencies related to driving and OSPAN missions, Monte Carlo simulations show that the frequency of super users is significantly higher than by chance . These personal differences help to deepen the theoretical understanding of attention and cognitive control in the natural environment.

Given the neurological relevance of control of attention and the exceptional multitasking assumptions Supertaskers showed before, front pole (upper) and front buckle (lower). Considering the average beta body weight of each subject in each of the two ROIs as expected, the difference between brain activation group differences and the latter increase in recognition of FP - PFC, F load (3, 42 ) = 27.3, p <0.001, parameter Δ 2 =. 66, while ACC, F (3, 42) = 18.6, p <. 001, part Δ 2 =. 57.

2% of the multitask master population seems to be able to successfully accomplish multiple tasks. It may be genetic. In addition, these "superpowers" tend to highlight positions and roles with their own abilities. To become a super master, you need the correct nerve. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, we do not have many exercises that can enable us to do a better job of multitasking. When learning to manage attention and management time, Srinivas Rao wrote as follows. Attention is the basis of many of our personal and professional problems. Rao cites four reasons

Abstract This research uses brain imaging to determine the ability to successfully perform at least two tasks requiring attention, the neural basis of individual differences in multitasking. Since multitasking is a mental burden, when adjusting caution control and managing cognitive loads, the prefrontal cortex needs to be adopted to maintain the purpose of the mission. To investigate this possibility, we used functional neuroimaging to evaluate specific multi-task neural activity and controlled subjects who matched working memory ability. Participants needed a difficult dual N back task in which both auditory and visual stimuli were presented and required independent and continuous maintenance, updating and verification of speech content and spatial activity records.
