The age old adage ‘women are better at multitasking than men’ may have some scientific merit. Reporting on two experiments, researchers show that under certain conditions, women have an advantage over men at multitasking. While past research has shown that women are involved in more multi-tasking than men, there have been few scientific studies that have interrogated this widely believed claim. The conclusion is that women may be better when faced with specific situations.
