Yes I can pat my head and rub my stomach at that the same time. Now can you sit on a chair and pat your head and rub your stomach and turn you foot the opposite way you are rubbing your stomach?

I cannot do it either, no one can do it. I think we can do it your food just goes the same directions on its own.

I will have to try that Riya. That's great fun! But can you chew gum slowly while listening to a fast number and vice versa?

It is difficult because our mind does not obey two different commands simultaneously......lOL!

No, not in that way. However, I like to do some unrelated activities like reading and eating, reading and listening at the same time, but not more than that.

They say that people who multi-task are intelligent beings because they know how to focus despite the number of tasks. Also they say that multi-taskers are done greatly and much better by women.

How funny, I had to stop and try it and yes I can pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time. I do find it easier to do it if I pat my head with my right hand, maybe because I am right handed?

Yes, I can, and even the addition of turning the foot in opposite direction. I have always been quite good at multitasking. Comes in handy, when you are a mom, lol. I used to watch TV, read a book and knit at the same time. Sometimes I still do it, but with three kids I know more likely fall asleep in front of the TV once they are all finally in bed;)

I tried it out and ai coudl do it easily. it is not so difficult. i can only do it with my right hand over my head and not my left hand. The left hand has to rub the stomach. any idea why this happens? Ok can you do this. Look look left and righ tboth at th esame time. Taht is both your eye balls shoud look outward. normally both eye balls move in the same direction.

Yes, I can do it but my daughter is looking at me like i'm nuts. I can't reverse it though. That is more difficult. You have to concentrate at first and then when you have it down you can think of other things.
