Multitasking is an idea that many people believe saves time and helps complete tasks in a shorter period of time. However, theory suggests that when performing the same type of multitasking, it would be too difficult to remember what you just did since the two activities are almost identical. This research paper aims to evaluate how the same type of multitasking affects humans' memory. Data from twenty-seven people was collected, in which they were asked to perform two types of multitasking activities and take a test to see how much they could remember. The results show that most participants scored lower on the audio multitasking test compared to the visual multitasking test and that female participants had a higher test average than male participants, with females scoring approximately 20% out of 100 to that of men. Additionally, people find audio multitasking more difficult to process and remember what just happened compared to visual multitasking.
