Supertaskers, Technology to Replace Exams and the All in the Mind Awards

BBC Radio 4 - All in the Mind, Supertaskers, Technology to Replace Exams and the All in the Mind Awards

2.5% of people are supertaskers, plus replacing exams with AI and our latest award winner.

Claudia Hammond presents the series on the human mind. The test to identify supertaskers. Plus could artificial intelligence replace exams? And our latest award winner.

Could you be one on the 2.5% of the population psychologists have dubbed "supertaskers". These are people who are able to deal with a multitude of different tasks all at the same time? Now a team in Australia has put together an online test so that you can find out for yourself. 

We've had a lot of response to our discussion on education and exam stress. Claudia Hammond looks at a radical system designed to end exam stress forever - by doing away with exams and using artificial intelligence to carry out much more nuanced assessments. The research is being done at the University College London Knowledge Lab, and Claudia went along to see how it all works. 

And a strong bond between mother and daughter is at the heart of our latest interview with a finalist in the All in the Mind awards. We hear from the daughter who has nominated her mother for an award. Ellie, who's 20, explains why she thinks her mother should get an award for the support she's given her since her diagnosis with depression, psychosis and a personality disorder at the age of 14.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
