Neuroscientists tell us it is impossible for the human brain to multitask. We might think we’re becoming more productive by splitting our attention, but in reality when we attempt to multitask we really end up doing twice as much as we should, half as well as we could.
Disconnecting from Deadly Distractions
Key Takeaways:
- The human brain cannot truly multitask; attempting to do so leads to reduced effectiveness and attention division.
- In aviation, distractions, often from electronic devices, have severe and deadly consequences, leading to critical errors and procedural noncompliance.
- Pilots must actively disconnect from distractions and retrain their focus solely on critical tasks to prevent calamitous outcomes in the cockpit.
