This project aims to better understand how people multitask, that is how they do two or more tasks simultaneously, and how that impacts learning and functioning. Through questionnaires and the use of visual and auditory stimuli, we assess whether children, adolescents, and emerging adults are able to task switch, provide partial or complete attention, and whether that facilitates or impedes learning of new information.
