Secondly, and more importantly, having read the study (thanks for providing the links), I'm flabbergasted by the notion that any credible study / news item / research etc. will be reporting a 2.5% phenomena as being of any statistical substance worth mentioning.
The bottom line, as you correctly mention in your presentation, is that multitasking is a big, very big, no-no. Any other message if simply noise.
Cheers, Shim.

Thanks Shim. I was a little blurry on that too, but they claimed right in the paper that 2.5% was statistically significant....I guess that means they can justify really small error bars?
Either way, I decided to not get too caught up on whether there are "supertaskers" or not...either way, it's very unlikely that any given individual falls into this category, even though most of us might be inclined to believe we do.
