In their article "How to separate learning myths from reality," McKinsey consultants Atabaki, Dietsch, and Sperling stated that misconceptions about the human brain and learning are embedded in many corporate training programs. Which was not one of these misconceptions and associated recommendation?

Group of answer choices

A. Most of the human brain is idle much of the time, so that training programs need to wake up the idle parts of the brain to ensure skill development.

B. After a critical period, concentrated mostly in the pre-adolescent years, the human brain becomes quite inflexible, resulting in much slower and difficult learning.

C. Most people can be identified as either dominantly analytical (left-brained) or more creative (right-brained).

D. Most people have a tendency to use predominantly the right or the left side of their brain, so that to be effective, training programs should be matched to the preferred brain hemispheral preference/tendency of trainees.

E. The human brain is naturally a multi-tasker whose default state is keeping track of multiple sources of input and guiding multiple behaviors simultaneously, so that to be effective, training programs should require trainees to rapidly shift their attention from one task to another, with the aim of improving multi-tasking competence.
