Hertfordshire大学的心理学教授、这个测试项目的领队Keith Laws，说：“我相信我们所有人都已经听过在多任务处理方面，男人不如女人的故事。” But there didnt appear to be any empirical evidence for this. It was all based upon folklore and hearsay when I looked through the scientific literature. “但是，好像并没有什么经验上的证据可以证明。当我浏览科学作品的时候，我发现这个理论全都是基于民间传说和道听途说的。” Prof. Laws gave 50 male and 50 female students eight minutes to perform three tasks at the same time: carrying out simple maths problems, finding restaurants on a map and sketching a strategy for how they would search for a lost key in an imaginary field. Laws教授给50名男性和50名女性学生八分钟，让他们同时去做三件事：解决一些简单的数学问题，在地图上发现指定餐馆和略述一个策略：在一个虚构的地方如何寻找一把丢失的钥匙。 As they performed the tasks, the volunteers also received a phone call that they could either chose to answer or not. If they did answer, they were given an additional general knowledge test while they continued to carry out their other activities. 当做这些任务的时
