Question

In math class, while trying to understand a complicated problem on the chalkboard, you look over your physics notes in preparation for a physics quiz scheduled for the next hour. How successful will you be at these dual-attention tasks and why? Include at least three influences on attention in your discussion.

Answer 1

not very, both tasks require a lot of thought processing power. You would not be able complete the math problem whilst simultaneously revising physics notes, these two tasks would have to be completed sequentially. Unless you were some kind of Einstein. IMHO.
