The Town of Reading and The Pleasant Street Senior Center in partnership with the Reading Public
Library presents a 6-week ARPA-funded program featuring activities and lectures focusing on a variety of
topics related to healthy living.

October 19th:

Dr. Nathan Ward – Department of Psychology, Tufts University
Distracted Driving, Multitasking and Cognitive Therapies.

Dr. Ward's research is focused on understanding and improving the ability to manage multiple streams
of information (i.e., multitasking) both in the lab and in real-world settings. His work aims to unpack the
cognitive mechanisms that support multitasking, such as task switching and dual tasking, as well as to
understand whether these and other mechanisms are differentially engaged across the lifespan.
