Are you sure you can multi task?

I saw the lifehacker’s article about people claiming they can multi task. Some researchers found out that

In a test of the degree of organisation of working memory, participants were presented with a series of letters, one at a time, and told to push a button when they saw a letter that they had seen exactly three letters previously.

Again, low multitaskers were significantly better at correctly spotting the repeated letters. Not only did the high multitaskers do worse from the beginning, they got worse at it as time went on.

So basically means you are just full of crap when you say you can actually multitask.

I also found a game for multitaskers though :) I had 70 points before my head exploded :(

Play Multitask, a free online game on Kongregate.
