University of Utah psychology Professors David Sanbonmatsu and David Strayer with the driving simulator they use in some of their research on cell phone use and driving. In a new study, Sanbonmatsu and Strayer found that the people most likely to multitask have lowest multitasking ability. That includes people who talk on cell phones while driving.
