I think that in many ways there are men with abilities generally attributed to women and visa versa. I think it's because our 'gender' based abilities run along a spectrum and are not exclusively male or female. I think this is evident in the sexual interests of people who are bisexual or homosexual.
There are two ways to 'multitask'. One is where you can switch rapidly from one task to another (which sounds more like what ustwo does with the patients) or doing more than one task at the very same moment.
For example: I can multitask by, talking on the phone, stirring the scrambled eggs, and handing a child a cup of milk at the very same time. I'm constantly multitasking but I think if I weren't forced to do it by the children that I watch I would not be as good as it as I am. I believe a part of multitasking takes some practice. This realm of ability would be hard to study because I believe that people who work in professions that require multitasking or people who've cared for children much would have had practice. Any ability can be learned.
