If someone seems to truly be
multitasking, there is actually something else going on under the
hood. One of the tasks that person is performing is actually a habit.
Give someone two entirely new tasks to do at once, and they'll falter
at both, but ask them to do something new while doing something
they've done for years, and you'll see a different result. We are
capable of performing many complex actions simultaneously when we
have built in layers of habits. Just look at a musician to see this
in action: they move their hands and fingers entirely independent of
each other while performing a complex series of entirely separate
tasks, all while counting complex rhythms, maintaining a consistent
pulse, even shaping the music using dynamics, phrasing,
articulation, and other musical embellishments. The mind of a gamer
has similar capabilities...
