Learning Through Overhearing
Ever found yourself inadvertently jotting down fragments of a nearby conversation while trying to concentrate on your writing or typing? This scenario might resonate with you. Picture this: an individual was eavesdropping on their parents’ discussion about a new refrigerator and ended up penning the amusing mishap that Germany morphed into a refrigerator at the culmination of World War I. As previously noted, juggling multiple tasks simultaneously can prove to be a challenging feat, particularly when it demands intense focus.
The human brain is simply not wired to simultaneously write historical data onto flashcards and engage in a dialogue about the latest refrigerator models. This multitasking can create a muddle, blurring the lines between past events and present discussions.
