The researcher also measures how long these same individuals can divide their attention between two similar tasks 3 years later, and then measures this another time 6 years later. The researcher proposes that there will be differences in the ability to multi-task and divide one's attention throughout the 6 years tested Based on the above information, select True or False True Falso: The Duration of Time Muts-Tasking Without Error (in seconda) is the independent variable in this data set.
