Increasingly, the evidence is saying “no”! Researchers at Stanford University broke subjects up into two groups based upon their self-identified media consumption habits — Low Media Multitaskers and High Media Multitaskers — and put them through a series of tests.* * http://www.pnas.org/content/106/37/15583.full
