Good men do more than one woman at a time

Working mothers may have to take on more responsibilities than their husbands. However, the long-held popular belief that good women do more work than men is wrong, according to a new Swedish study.

'In contrast, the results of our research show that men are better than women in performing many tasks at the same time,' said Timo Maentylae, professor of psychology at Stockholm University, on the Daily page. Mail.

In his experiments, Mr. Maentylae instructed volunteers, including 160 men and women between the ages of 20 and 43, to track 3 digitized 'clocks' (counters) displaying different times with Different speeds.

While recording certain times displayed on 3 clocks according to simple rules, they had to monitor a paper telegraph device with the names of common people in Sweden. and must press the mouse when one of these names is repeated.

The results show a clear difference in performing all of the above tasks at the same time in men and women, in which the better performance is more on the eyebrow.

Similar to previous studies, Maentylae found that women and men with 'working memory ' or good short-term memory also outperform others in undertaking and many responsibilities. .

However, the researcher found that the ability to combine different tasks at the same time is also related to space capacity, which in women is more or less dependent on their menstrual cycle.

'Research shows that women's spatial skills change throughout their menstrual cycle. In it, the capacity increases around the 'red light' days and is much lower at ovulation when blood levels of the estrogen hormone are high , 'Maentylae said.
