American scientists from Stanford University conducted a series of experiments , which proved that the amateurs of multi task work less effectively than people concentrated on single application. A group of students 100 people in the course of experiments were divided in two groups: in the first were assembled, those who love to obtain information immediately from several channels; the second were single-task students.
A series of three experiments allowed scientists to make the following conclusions:
- Multi tasking badly work on the attention, it is easy to distract them by secondary stimuli.
- Memory in multi tasking is worse than in people with the ability to be concentrated on one direction.
- The ability to rapidly switch from one task to another is better developed for people, which are not multi tasking.
Thus, those desiring to obtain as much as possible information simultaneously along different channels badly affects the results of work. We advise to those desiring to effectively use the possibilities of their brain to be less distracted with the secondary stimuli and to try to clearly filter information.
