Dual-task interference as a function of varying motor and cognitive demands
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Multitasking is a critical feature of our daily lives. Using a dual-task paradigm, this experiment explored adults’ abilities to simultaneously engage in everyday motor and cognitive activities, counting while walking, under conditions varying the ...

Longitudinal effects of bilingualism on dual-tasking [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2017 An ongoing debate surrounds whether bilinguals outperform monolinguals in tests of executive processing. The aim of this study was to investigate if there are long-term (10 year) bilingual advantages in executive processing, as indexed by dual-task performance, in a sample that were 40-65 years at baseline.

Effects of Thermal Stress on Dual Task Performance and Attention Allocation [PDF]
, 2005 A visual-visual dual task was designed to test the effect of the thermal environment on dual task performance and attention allocation. The temperatures selected for testing were 20 and 35°C Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) in experiment 1 and 25, 30 ...

Differential contributions of set-shifting and monitoring to dual-task interference [PDF]
, 2012 It is commonly argued that complex behaviour is regulated by a number of “executive functions” which work to co-ordinate the operation of disparate cognitive systems in the service of an overall goal.

Divided Attention in Schizophrenia: A Dual Task Paradigm
, 2021 Schizophrenia is known to be associated with attentional deficits. Few studies have examined whether the disorder is also associated with a deficit in the ability to divide attention, and they have given contradictory results.

Muscular and Prefrontal Cortex Activity during Dual-Task Performing in Young Adults
European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education, 2023 Postural control depends on attentional resources besides automatic processes. The dual-task paradigm is a possible approach to analyzing the interference and performance between motor and/or cognitive tasks. Various studies showed that, when individuals
