The human brain is designed in a way that it is able to coordinate two actions and achieve the set goals of the actions simultaneously. This particular ability enables the brain to multitask two activities, both which require attention. It is able to do so without confusing either of these activities. The brain is able to switch in between these two activities without compromising its behavior.
Research have been conducted to find out which part of the brain is responsible for task switching. Groups of people have been selected and given several tasks to see how they coordinate those activities. Inside the body preparation mechanisms always endeavor to involve lateral cortex (BA 46/45) and posterior parietal cortex (BA 40). In the time between …show more content…
There is doing repetitive tasks, and there is doing a different task. Doing repetitive tasks improves the cognition process as it enhances perfection, the brain gets used to those tasks, and it gets wired for them. Doing different tasks ensures that the brain is innovative enough, in that every time it does a task, new ways of doing a particular task must be invented. There exists a particular deficit on whether one is willing to do a task repeatedly or in combination with other tasks. Participants generally found it much easier to do a repetitive task since they are more comfortable with this task than with the other tasks. This type of deficit is what psychologists call switch …show more content…
From various studies conducted by a number of psychologists, have shown that the dorsolateral prefrontal techniques and the superior posterior parietal cortex have a relation to the cognitive control. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tends to be activated when there is a series of activities being carried out when some activities are kept on hold in the working memory, when the tasks to be carried out are demanding or when there is a switch in the relevance of the task dimension. It is also associated with carrying out complicated tasks whereas the superior posterior parietal cortex is associated with general attention. The superior posterior parietal cortex does not bother with the difficulty of the
