The Effects of Multitasking on The Learning Process
| Division: | International | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Oakville, ON | | School: | W. H. Morden Public School | | Abstract: | This Study aims to see how much multitasking affects the learning process and if it varies between ages and genders. Volunteers were recruited to play a flash game and listen to a podcast and were either asked to multitask or perform the tasks separately. Multitaskers performed worse than non-multitaskers in both the tasks, and the results varied between genders and age groups. |
