Multitasking and brain clutter

As part of a larger feature, the Montreal Gazette published a two page spread about multitasking in a digital world. Karen Li, a professor in the Department of Psychology and associate director of the Centre for Research and Human Development, is cited regarding some of her research which examined simultaneous use of a motor and cognitive skill among older adults. The piece also mentions doctoral student Mervin Blair’s work on an experiment about brain clutter. Coverage also appears in the Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun and Regina Leader Post .
