conducted a experiment to see if male or female where better at multitasking. The experiment was conducted with both male and female having to completing a simple maths and map reading task in this area they both did average but the women were still able to handle them both quickly at one time unlike the males. One of the main tasks was how would you go about finding a key that was lost in a field.
Both genders were given a sheet of paper with the image of the field the key was lost in, they then had to plan how they would go about finding the key. It was proven that 70% of women completed this task with a greater strategic skill on how to find the missing key than the men did.
This surprised the professor as there was much debate that in fact men where smarter there for they could work more diligently whilst multitasking this was although false in this experiment..
They also stated that women are able to reflect on a problem whilst still having to juggle other activities an commitments.
