Dual-task performance in adults with autism
Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 2002Based on previous evidence of executive function deficits in autism, it was hypothesised that people with autism would demonstrate a pattern of spared abilities on the slave system of working memory, although demonstrating an overt deficit of the central executive.The performance of a group of adults with autism (n = 16) and that of a matched control ...

Dual task interference in psychogenic tremor
Movement Disorders, 2007AbstractPsychogenic tremor (PT) is visually indistinguishable from voluntarily mimicked tremor. Healthy volunteers have difficulties with carrying out simultaneously two tasks due to the phenomenon known as dual task interference. Therefore, performing voluntary rhythmic movements would be a burden for carrying out fast ballistic movements with the ...

Loss Attention in a Dual-Task Setting
Psychological Science, 2013The positive effect of losses on performance has been explained as stemming from the increased weighting of losses relative to gains. We examine an alternative possibility whereby this effect is mediated by attentional processes. Using the dual-task paradigm, we expected that positive effects of losses on performance would emerge under attentional ...

P300 and allocation of attention in dual-tasks
International Journal of Psychophysiology, 1996P300 in dual-tasks has been reported to be distributed reciprocally across the tasks, i.e. larger P300 associated with one task implies smaller P300 associated with the other (Wickens et al., 1983; Sirevääg et al., 1989). In these studies, however, the dual-tasks stimuli were either presented simultaneously, precluding a direct, within-trial assessment

Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, 2018
Evidence has consistently established that older people with a higher frequency of falls are more likely to be affected by environmental stimuli or simultaneous responsibilities while attempting to maintain balance. Physical therapists have the skill and technology to evaluate a patient's ability to combine tasks and to measure their tolerance of ...

The Effects of Dual-Task Training on Dual-Task Skills in Older Adults
2017It is well established that aging is associated with numerous health concerns, including poor balance. Deteriorations in attention demand also place older adults at a greater risk for falls. Emerging experiments have explored the impact of dual-task training programs and have improved dual-tasking in older adults.

Controlling a Tactile ERP–BCI in a Dual Task
IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games, 2013When using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to control a game, the BCI may have to compete with gaming tasks for the same perceptual and cognitive resources. We investigated: 1) if and to what extent event-related potentials (ERPs) and ERP-BCI performance are affected in a dual-task situation; and 2) if these effects are an area function of the level ...

Brain Laterality and Dual-Task Performance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1985There is substantial evidence that the right brain is superior for the perception of space and form, while the left possesses greater language capabilities. One model of information processing based on the lateralized function of each hemisphere proposes that the brain operates most efficiently with direct access (lateralized input) of the appropriate ...

Dual tasking and stuttering: from the laboratory to the clinic
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2011The aim of the three studies in this article was to develop a way to include dual tasking in speech restructuring treatment for persons who stutter (PWS). It is thought that this may help clients maintain the benefits of treatment in the real world, where attentional resources are frequently diverted away from controlling fluency by the demands of ...

Dual-Task Processing: Effects of Task Difficulty and Stimulus Similarity on Dual-Task Performance
South African Journal of Psychology, 2005Previous research on factors that influence divided attention have focused on resource allocation, age of participants, task difficulty and familiarity, practice effects as well as brain areas that control dual task performance. The present study examined the effects of task difficulty and stimulus similarity on dual-task performance.
