@leerees Since I started working for many hours on strategies my long term memory has got really bad, sometimes I'll be in the middle of a strategy and just completely forget what I'm doing. I believe I've burnt my hippocampus out because I keep getting dejavu feelings aswell, dejavu is so annoying as you completely loose your train of thought, I wouldn't mind if it actually meant something but it's a trick, you think you saw something before, you did 10ms ago when your hippocampus crapped out!
This has something to with age? I mean, children can multitask? I think that multitasking is influenced by people around you. If you don't have something precise to think about you will do multitasking. When you are younger you get other kind of results. What I want to say is that if you manage to not focus on something that has a clear result thinking you got the answer you will do multitasking. Paying attention and not trying to get an answer or result to a thing out of many is multitasking.
@teknown Brain is smart, it tries to fool you. Try use it without using works, using a complicated language while you think about something also breaks your capacity of multitasking. Try think simple, use keywords and not think the answer in words. Yeah, working memory is small, but if you manage to use it in this way you will get good benefits from it. I don't say you need to control your brain, I say that you need to fool it. Long duration memory is huge, why not stock here all the complex?
the guy on this video is 1) remembering what he wanted to say 2) ordering his vocal cords to produce sound 3) walking along the scene 4) not to count a lot of stuff the brain does like regulating breathing, digest system, blood pressure etc. -- everything at the same time... isn't it multitasking?
@alexgrinkov he is actually only focusing on talking, maybe his movment, and - regulating breathing, digest system, blood pressure etc. he is doing that unconsciously = no memory required for that
@ndyt okay i see now, sorry i forgot about that muscle-motor memory. its a different type of multi tasking that are shown in this video. maybe bec people used to imply or call such mind-motor activity while doing another activity, a multi task.
@ThermalHD "It's bull that brains cant multitask. I have done it many times. Its a lie, you just need practice."
We do many operations in multitasking, but most is subconscious triggering of predefined routines, that have been grinded into us by practice.
It’s not multitasking elaboration, you cannot use a calculator with one hand, while singing a song and cleaning your screen with the other, but you can use 2 hands and a foot to play on a piano a serious of subconscious routines.
I noticed I can't read a piece and listen to another piece of complex information at the same time. However I can listen to a piece of complex information very closely while playing a game involving decisions and information.
@Saerain Depends what system in the brain it relates too. Justin Beiber is a peice of information just as the letter B is or an image of a car. All 3 instances would be created by different networks within your brain. The trick with the limit is to cluster together groups of information inside one peice. Lets say you store the number 42 inside an image of a hammer and the number 20 inside a car, in future you only have to remember hammer car to get 4220, it works really well.
Perhaps he has never met someone with anxiety. Fora has really gone down hill. If quacks like this are the best this channel can come up with were all doomed
this is a hoax. because i can drive while texting, i think it depends more on the things that you used to have in a frequent basis. practically training and 80% confidence.
I can read book while saying the words using my mouth and at the same time i can picture it through my imagination in what really happening in the story. This is MULTI- TASKING bitch!
This bastard clearly wants human beings to be something we're not - namely multi-tasking machines in the global economy. Wouldn't CEOs just love it if their employees had brains more like computers?
I surprised no woman has wrote a load of sexist drivel on here yet about Men not being able to and Women being God-like in their ability to do so. It's a total myth, but it's amazing how often it gets trotted out...
Cognitive overload. BS, I watched this while drunk and having flashes of the philosophy i studied this morning. A psychedelic mixture of Heidegger and Plato this time but unfortunately i remember everything Nicholas Carr said.
What you ended up doing was vaguely clicking inside a tank/or not with your right, hearing the noise of TED in the background & half ignoring your girlfriend making assertions like, ahuh, yeah & mmm. Just because you managed it doesn't mean you were very effective at them. Sure I can brush my teeth and eat a taco at the same time but it's missing the point.
@Valoric0 actually I meant it the way you are explaining. when you do several things at the same time your actions becomes laggy. but actually when you do tasks that you are used to doing you can kind of do them without thinking and ''get less RAM on it''..
There doesn't necessarily need to be a solution, just tweaks to the way we learn, work etc that would help laymen when using the whole worlds information at their finger tips.
The interesting question is what is the mechanism of transitioning of information from a short term into a long term state. Since obviously, not all information we perceive is memorable even if we want to make sure we remember all of it, yet some information which we are not particularly interested gets memorized instantly without us even trying.
For me, the information has to be dramatically important to learn. As if I were in danger or my life depended on it but if I always did that I'd probably have a heart attack... I'm sure I read there's certain chemicals that aid or configure those short term memories into long but it was a while back. I wish we modified our brain as if they were computers to almost permanently imprint information at will. That. Would. Be. Awesome.
@Valoric0 That would be quite something indeed, but wouldn't we become a Data garbage collectors if our memory was so absolutely acute to the details? Besides, there would be no way to erase the memory at will, only through a complete lack of relevance. So Not Memorizing everything is actually protecting our minds in it's own peculiar way.
Sure, but if we did change to said "cyber-brains" we'd organize physical storage the exact same way we use the internet. Of course we filter when we use the web. For example you don't download every single image you come across and fragment around the hard drive, do you. My perspective on it would be like copying a PDF to your brain to instantly learn & remember it's contents. You also wouldn't have a huge "read time" so to speak, when you try to remember almost forgotten information
@Antoshik81 A small number of people, including actor Marilu Henner, seem to be able to recall every detail of their lives. Google "superior autobiographical memory," and/or "hyperthymesia." I don't know if the difference between people like them and the rest of us is in the ability to store information or in the ability to retrieve it, but it's fascinating stuff.
aka for all those people who don't believe in ADD/ADHD and wonder why the scientific community has been talking about it and diagnosing it fairly recently, this guy just explained it pretty well
@infinitelimitation a computer dosent know shitt. all it can do is solve a task that we give it.. and to do that its takes in the information from the harddrive. to the ram. and then the CPU is reading that information and trying to solve it.
I watched this video while playing Minecraft, listening to radio, while working out. I don't really know what this talk said, but I think it's stupid.
And this is why younger generations seem to be getting dumber and dumber. Everyone on the net thinks they are smart when they can look up anything on google or wikipedia. But when there's a power outage, you know they are as dumb as a box of turds. If you want to know whether or not you really know anything thoroughly, and not just have faux intelligence giving you the illusion of knowing something, try explaining what you think you know to someone else. If you can't explain it you don't know it
@xm377Moyocoyatzin I absolutely share your opinion. I feel the internet, especially "fancy forums" like Wikipedia, is too "available" for younger generations (and those who behave no different); the currency of knowledge is abused. I find it absolutely insulting, and degrading when people choose to cite these places as actual sources, assuming they express knowledge or suddenly hold some authority. It is embarrassing when little is understood, yet the notion of “knowing” is arrogantly held.
@BladesOfMunch - RE Wikipedia: (Being completely sincere...) On numerous occasions, I've actually challenged and corrected lecturing *experts* in several fields from information that I've gleaned from Wikipedia. I disagree with your dismissal of Wikipedia as a "fancy forum"; you're simply regurgitating an old mantra. The continuous vetting of Wikipedia articles continues to improve. Why do people cite Wikipedia so much? Because MOST PAGES CITE MANY EXPERT SOURCES. Perfect? No. Useful? GREATLY!
@BigMTBrain Wikipedia is actually a great place to get started on knowing a certain subject by skimming the article and then going to the cited sources to investigate more in depth. Those that have some idea of how scholarly research works then wikipedia shouldn't be a problem for them. The problem is when an article is biased, unscholarly, misleading or just plain false and some fool takes it at face value without checking the sources (if it has sources at all).
@xm377Moyocoyatzin - Yes. I agree with all of your statements. I think the situation has been improving though because it seems to be less these days that I suddenly reach a point in an article where my bias sensor trips an internal alarm. In that sense, it can become a problem for those who can't easily detect opinion and bias from fact or, at least, balanced reporting.
