Resumen One possibility is that they are biased to spread attention broadly. That's a poor strategy when you're confronted with two tasks that have different or even conflicting requirements. But that bias would make you more likely to multitask, even if it's not very effective. Whether multitasking creates that bias or whether that bias exists for other reasons and prompts people to multitask is not known. Either way, if heavy multitaskers have a bias to spread attention broadly, that bias should be helpful in tasks where two different streams of information are mutually supportive.			Palabras clave: Multitasking tests.

Resumen Although doing many things at the same time — reading an article while listening to music, switching to check e-mail messages and talking on the phone — can be a way of making tasks more fun and energizing, “you have to keep in mind that you sacrifice focus when you do this,” said Edward M. Hallowell, a psychiatrist and author of “CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap!” (Ballantine, 2006). “Multitasking is shifting focus from one task to another in rapid succession. It gives the illusion that we’re simultaneously tasking, but we’re really not. It’s like playing tennis with three balls.”			Palabras clave: How multistaking affects our brain.

Resumen When the brain tries to do two things at once, it divides and conquers, dedicating one-half of our gray matter to each task, new research shows. But forget about adding another mentally taxing task: The work also reveals that the brain can't effectively handle more than two complex, related activities at once. When it comes to task management, the prefrontal cortex is key. The anterior part of this brain region forms the goal or intention—for example, "I want that cookie"—and the posterior prefrontal cortex talks to the rest of the brain so that your hand reaches toward the cookie jar and your mind knows whether you have the cookie.  To find out, neuroscientists Etienne Koechlin and Sylvain Charron of the French biomedical research agency INSERM in Paris turned to functional magnetic resonance imaging, which measures changes in brain activity. They monitored 16 women and 16 men, aged 19 to 32, as they performed a complicated letter-matching task. Shown letters pulled at random from the word “tablet” on a computer screen, volunteers had to determine whether two successive letters (either all lowercase or all uppercase) appeared in the same order as they do in the word. To multitask, they also had to deal with uppercase and lowercase letters at the same time, matching them to either all uppercase or all lowercase words. The volunteers received a small amount of money if they performed well.				Palabras clave: Brain. Task managemente Neuroscience

Resumen El control global de los impulsos se divide entre las dos redes, aunque no se contrarrestan entre sí. Cuando las regiones de control cognitivo están funcionando bien, las distracciones son ignoradas y los comportamientos se producen en el contexto adecuado, cuando la valoración es apropiada, se toman decisiones que tienden a ser beneficiosas en el largo plazo. Sin embargo, dice Adolphs, “cuando las redes se quedan sin conexión, las conductas impulsivas más fuertes no pueden ser inhibidas”. “Ambas redes tienen que estar en equilibrio para funcionar apropiadamente”, dice Glascher. “Si uno falla, el otro se sale de control y pueden surgir distintos tipos de problemas”.

Resumen During the study, subjects were asked to look at a scene, then were interrupted for several seconds by an image of a person’s face. They were asked to identify the person’s gender and approximate age, and then returned to answer questions about the earlier scene. Older subjects found it much harder to disengage from the interruption and reestablish contact with the scene, the researchers found. Even though the study did not revolve around interruptions from cellphones or other gadgets, one researcher said the results provide a “clear extrapolation” to the impact of a stream of incoming rings and buzzes.
