Parent Ed Talk: Our Distracted Mind with Dr. Adam Gazzaley

Dr.
Adam Gazzaley will explain:

  • Attention, distraction, and the myth
    of multi-tasking


  • Brain limitations, such as processing
    speed, attentional limitations, working memory limitations, and
    sensitivity to interference, which can be both internal and external


  • The impact that multi-tasking has on

    our safety, memory, education, careers and personal lives


  • What we can do to improve our
    attentional abilities and our focus, as media continues to dominate our
    landscape
