Stanford study: Media multitaskers pay mental price on 2009-11-18
Digital Natives – Are They Really Skilled at Multitasking? — Open Education on 2009-11-18
- Researchers determined that the low multitaskers‘ group consistently outdid their highly multitasking counterparts on a series of classic psychology tests designed to assess attention and memory skills.
- The tests involved the participant’s ability to ignore irrelevant information or distracters, the degree to which participants were able to organize their working memory and the skills at which they could switch tasks.

- - Increasing the distracters dramatically affected the high multitaskers

    In 38 years of teaching I have never found a good student who multi-tasked and never found a poor student who didn’t try to multi-task. Ask any. 400 hitter what he thinks about when facing a pitcher and the answer is Nothing, I just watch the ball.
    
    Kids who think they can read and chat with friends are deluded.
    
    Concentrate on the new task at hand. As one becomes more skilled less conscious brain p0wer goes into the performance. After 45 years of driving, I can drive and chat. A beginner can’t do that and be safe.
  - the younger generation does not really have a choice.It is either learn to multitask with this technology or be left behind. I personally think they are doing a great job.
  - Is listening to “white noise” to block out other more interesting things around me “multi-tasking”? Listening to music might provide background noise.
  - So the first nugget from this research is questioning the rationale and making more explicit the tradeoff between this “personal motivation” and achieving desired actual results

Green Chameleon » The War Between Awareness and Memory on 2009-09-16
- We have to figure out how to see and manage our tools and our activities to satisfy a balance of knowledge needs across the entire spectrum, and take a debate about technology and turn it into a dialogue about practices
- this is soemthing that came up more clearly in a discussion over at Greg Lambert’s blog, where he points out that “you should only highlight (store and archive) those things that you think you’ll have to recall later on”.
  
  My point in response was that this means knowledge workers need to become more literate about the kinds of knowledge they are using, what they are fit for, and if for memory, treat them accordingly from the point of creation.
