j j j j j j j j j j j j
cerebrum, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities. The stress associated with last-minute cramming can
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
impair cognitive function and hinder performance during exams.

MultitaskingCORRECT ANSWERS✔✔The ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time j j j j j j j j j j
Why is multitasking a myth?CORRECT ANSWERS✔✔Research suggests multitasking may hinder
j j j j j j j j j

What is more effective than multitasking or cramming?CORRECT ANSWERS✔✔Prioritizing tasks, focusing
j j j j j j j j j j
on one task at a time, assigning dedicated time to certain tasks, seeking appropriate feedback during study
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
sessions, and leveraging comparisons in tasks to deepen understanding.

, What does the cerebrum have to do with these myths?CORRECT ANSWERS✔✔plays a crucial role in
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
executive functions such as attention, planning, and decision making. it coordinates the allocation of
