NEW YORK, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- While the majority (90%) of American adults are multitasking, they're not necessarily succeeding in accomplishing more, according to a new poll released by Scientific American MIND, a new magazine about the brain and human behavior.

The poll commissioned by Scientific American MIND and conducted by Harris Interactive(R) shows that many American adults are juggling diverse and often incompatible tasks. Multitasked activities range from "cleaning the house, cooking and taking care of the kids" and "talking on the phone while reading or writing email" -- to reading or grooming while driving and even eating while working out.
