Listen to the report and fill in the blanks: Click here
Researchers at Stanford University in the United States divided a group of over _______ students into light or heavy _______ _______. Light multitaskers _______ ___ just one or two sources at a time - listening to music while working for example. Heavy multitaskers watch online videos, surf the web, talk or text on their mobiles, and write or read, all at the same time. Lead researcher Cliff Nass wanted to see how this would _______ the way their brains work.
Clifford Nass: "You would think that people who are multitasking with all these media at once would be great at _______ information. However we discovered they are suckers for irrelevant information, so they're much worse than low multitaskers at ignoring the irrelevant."
Not only that, but multitaskers are worse at organising and _______ information, and worse at _______ from one task to another. The findings have left the scientists with something of a mystery - why do people multitask at all? They say that in an increasingly _______ work environment, expecting staff to be constantly available by email and instant message whilst doing their jobs may actually mean that _______ falls.
