From the NMSS:
Divided attention (the ability to focus and concentrate when there is more than one stimulus competing for attention) is particularly difficult for some people with MS.
For example, driving while using the phone is considered hazardous because the driver’s attention is “divided” between driving and talking. In everyday life many situations involve divided attention, such as trying to carry on a conversation while fixing dinner.
Often referred to as “multitasking,” divided attention can pose a real challenge for people with MS, particularly as they try to remember something that they were not able to learn adequately in the first place.
