The people who multitask(同时执行多项任务)the most are the ones who are worst at it. That’s the surprising conclusion of researchers at Stanford University, who found multitaskers are more easily distracted and less able to ignore irrelevant information than people who do less multitasking.
In a telephone interview, Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford’s communications department, said that the huge finding is that the more media people use the worse they are at using any media.
The researchers studied 262 college undergraduates, dividing them into high and low multitasking groups and comparing such things as memory, ability to switch from one task to another and being able to focus on a task. Their findings were reported in Tuesday’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In the study, the researchers first had to figure out who are the heavy and light multitaskers. They gave the students a form listing a variety of media such as print, television, computer-based video, music, computer games, telephone voice or text, and so forth.
When it came to such essential abilities, people who did a lot of multitasking didn’t score as well as others, Nass said.
Still to be answered is why the folks who are worst at multitasking are the ones doing it the most. It’s sort of a chicken-or-egg question. Nass wanted to find out multitasking is causing them to be lousy(差劲的)at multitasking, or their lousiness at multitasking is causing them to be multitaskers. He also wanted to know it is born or learned.
In a society that seems to encourage more and more multitasking, the findings have social implications(影响), Nass observed. Multitasking is already blamed for car crashes as several states restrict the use of cell phones while driving. Lawyers or advertisers can try to use irrelevant information to distract and re focus people to influence their decisions. [br] What did Clifford Nass want to find out in the research?
选项
A、The relationship between multitasking and multitaskers.
B、Who are worst at multitasking.
C、The answer to a chicken-or-egg question.
D、Social implications of multitasking.
答案
A
解析
由题干中的Clifford Nass和wantto find out定位到第六段最后两句。原文提到,Nass想找出是多项任务导致他们表现糟糕,还是他们在担负多项任务时的糟糕表现使他们成为多项任务者,他还想知道这是先天的还是后天的。其实这两点合并成一点就是要弄清楚多项任务和多项任务工作者之间的关系,故答案为A)。
