‎Task switching, often mistaken for multitasking, refers to the brain's ability to shift focus between different activities. While it may seem efficient, research suggests that frequent task switching can impair cognitive performance, increase stress, and affect overall well-being. This paper explores the neurological mechanisms behind task switching, its impact on productivity, and the physiological consequences of excessive cognitive load.
‎
‎𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
‎
‎In today's fast-paced world, people often engage in multiple tasks simultaneously, believing it enhances efficiency. However, studies indicate that the human brain does not truly multitask; instead, it rapidly switches between tasks, leading to cognitive strain and reduced performance 1 Understanding the effects of task switching can help individuals optimize their focus and minimize negative consequences.
‎
‎𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
‎
‎Task switching involves the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive functions such as attention control and decision-making 2 When switching tasks, the brain undergoes a process called attention residue, where remnants of the previous task linger, making it harder to fully engage with the new task 3. This transition requires cognitive resources, leading to slower reaction times and increased errors.

A media practitioner was caught in an entrapment operation conducted by the NBI Bukidnon after allegedly extorting money from a politician in Valencia City, Bukidnon.

According to Councilor Jun Jun De Asis, a candidate for vice mayor of Valencia City, the media personnel had been defaming him for a month through their blocktime program on a local radio station. The councilor eventually contacted the media practitioner, who then demanded money in exchange for stopping the defamatory remarks.

The suspect allegedly asked for half a million pesos, prompting the councilor to report the matter to the NBI, which led to the entrapment operation.

The suspect is now in the custody of the NBI Bukidnon, while charges are being prepared against them. As of now, the Bukidnon Digital News has not received statements from the media practitioners or the politician allegedly behind the defamation. The news outlet remains open to hearing their side and publishing their statements regarding the allegations.
