In the modern developed society, the concept of multitasking is starting to play an integral role in both casual and corporate lives. According to the definition given by the American Psychological Association (2006), multitasking occurs when a person attempts to perform two activities simultaneously, switch from one activity to another, or complete two or more activities in quick succession (para. 2). Psychologists have studied the concept of multitasking for decades to determine how it affects the brain activity and whether the performance of one task influences the performance of another. Also, researchers were trying to analyze the connections between task characteristics and the necessity to have extra time for task completion. In the majority of conducted studies, researchers perform task-switching experiments for finding out the costs of such type of mental ‘juggling.’ Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of multitasking as to the individuals’ abilities to perform multiple activities simultaneously while giving an equal amount of attention to each task. The topic of multitasking is relevant because everybody multitasks in the quick-paced modern environment, which requires the majority of individuals to complete assignments tasks as quickly as possible and move on to other activities. Because the majority of studies analyzed for this literature review concluded that multitasking deteriorates the success of completing different tasks simultaneously, it is expected that this research will come to a similar conclusion. The fact that multitasking negatively affects an individual’s mental processing and the effectiveness of performing multiple activities simultaneously, dedicating more research to whether it is possible to give different tasks the same level of attention can still become a fruitful area for studying. When it comes to the structure of the paper, it will include the literature review of studies previously conducted on the concept of multitasking, the description of the research design and the results of each study, the influence of the research on the understanding of the field, the review of controversies that do not support the thesis statement outlined in this paper, and conclusions regarding the current state of knowledge about the problem topic. Lastly, the paper will identify future areas for study and the importance of further research as to the possibility to multitask and give each task an equal amount of attention. Literature Review Experiments and Findings Articles chosen for the literature review on the topic of multitasking approached the research problem from different angles as to the conducted experiment, the sample size, as well as the research background. The article “Predicting High Levels of Multitasking Reduces Between-Tasks Interactions” by Fischer and Dreisbach (2015) aimed to determine whether an individual’s performance in multitasking activities can be enhanced by the prediction of multitasking levels by conducting an item-specific proportion manipulation of temporal task overlap with forty-four participants. One of the strengths of Fischer and Dreisbach’s (2015) experiment was the reliability of the results despite the fact that it was limited to a relatively small sample size. The researchers concluded that the high tempo
