Every boss want you to multi - task but only pay you to do one job.

I noticed I can't read a piece and listen to another piece of complex information at the same time. However I can listen to a piece of complex information very closely while playing a game involving decisions and information. Anyone else who has noticed this of themselves?
@p0k3mn1
How am I able to watch 2 videos while listening to music while playing a game and being in a voice call still know what’s going on in all of them at the same time?
@maxcorrice9499
Some can multi task but it's possible as I am listening to the video and typing this and not switching back and forth
@TargetOrientedGolf
Human multitasking IS possible but involves the conscious and non-conscious minds, just like a computer with 2 CPU's. We switch ATTENTION between tasks, usually so fast that for most people they think they are multitasking. Whilst, as eluded to in the video, we can only consciously attend to 1 task at a time (the 8 bit CPU), we can carry out other PHYSICAL tasks simultaneously because they are managed by your non-conscious mind (the 64 bit CPU) and your learned motor programs. This is why we develop motor patterns so the non-conscious mind can perform physical tasks whilst the conscious mind is engaged with something requiring it's attention. You appear to be multitasking but actually using different brain functions. Hence our ability to multitask.
@requiemforamerica8432
i can only multitask when only one of the tasks require significant amount of concentration and the other is merely mechanical - like listening to a youtube lecture while doing the dishes
@SuperBustyEva
the bad thing is your brain leads you to believe you are multitasking, but in reality you are not.
@gsherlock
Its not necessarily a question of not being able to perform multiple tasks, its a question of how well you perform those tasks. I wouldn't want a brain surgeon to operate on me whilst watching a film, would you?
@skullectrobeats7436
Scientist: the human brain can’t multi task All moms: I’m about to wreck this man’s whole career
@poeticnation6251
Nice, nice, nice! This was a great explanation of why multitasking is simply not possible.
@Mohamed-Maghrebi
wondering how to play piano by two hands, each hand what to focus on, take me to this video, and still not got the answer, do I really can use each hand for a specific thing or not in piano?
@franklance9167
I think that multi focus isn't possible with two separate activities from a first person point of view but if you perceive the events in a 3rd person view you can focus on mor things.
@classicwiseguy
aka for all those people who don't believe in ADD/ADHD and wonder why the scientific community has been talking about it and diagnosing it fairly recently, this guy just explained it pretty well
@vistigioful
It makes sense that the human brain cannot multitask. You are dividing your attention among multiple things.
@MattyMilligan
My brain may not be able to multitask, but I am still going to try in order to get more work done.
@bernd_the_almighty
the guy on this video is 1) remembering what he wanted to say 2) ordering his vocal cords to produce sound 3) walking along the scene 4) not to count a lot of stuff the brain does like regulating breathing, digest system, blood pressure etc. -- everything at the same time... isn't it multitasking?
@THESocialJusticeWarrior
@FlavioAngPanday, no, driving is just muscle-motor memory, until you need to make a driving decision.
@orthodium
The interesting question is what is the mechanism of transitioning of information from a short term into a long term state. Since obviously, not all information we perceive is memorable even if we want to make sure we remember all of it, yet some information which we are not particularly interested gets memorized instantly without us even trying.
@Ashbahc
Explained my problem, thank you
