    @HowtoADHD If you're like me and struggle with so called "Multi-Tasking" then you should know it's far less efficient. What you end up doing is just switching back and forth between different tasks expending valuable energy each time. Monotasking=Better https://t.co/ZEAv2KFA0l

    Sometimes I feel bad that I can't multitask (even as simple as writing and engaging in a conversation). But this explains so much and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Also they cite actual journal articles, not just spew some bs like "psychology said"

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explores how attention lapses and media multitasking affect memory recall in young adults, highlighting that attention lapses can lead to forgetting.
  • Researchers used techniques like electroencephalography and pupillometry to measure attention while participants engaged in memory tasks.
  • Findings indicate that individuals who multitask more with media are more likely to experience lapses in attention, which correlates with poorer memory performance.
