    Has anyone heard of this? Apparently it is rather rare - even within the gifted populace.

    Never heard of it, sorry. Context? Something to do with dual process theory?

    Yes ColinsMum, that is the basis of it.

    Context:
    In the reports we got from both my older boys tests, the psychologist mentioned that they are both true dual processors - they can focus equally and at a level well above "competent" on two totally unrelated tasks at the same time.

    I finally saw this happen with my middle son and it was quite incredible to watch. She mentioned that it is very rare to find people who can properly dual process. I managed to get two kids that can - and I found out two friends have children who are also confirmed as dual processors...
