Attention in post-lexical processes of utterance production: Dual-task cost in younger and older adults. [PDF]
There is a general agreement that speaking requires attention at least for conceptual and lexical processes of utterance production. However, conflicting results have been obtained with dual-task paradigms using either repetition tasks or more generally ...

The effect of dual task demands and proficiency on second language speech production [PDF]
In this study we examined how the introduction of a parallel finger-tapping task influences second language speech (L2) encoding mechanisms and monitoring processes and how the level of proficiency impacts the efficiency and accuracy of L2 performance ...

Improving posture-motor dual-task with a supraposture-focus strategy in young and elderly adults. [PDF]
In a postural-suprapostural task, appropriate prioritization is necessary to achieve task goals and maintain postural stability. A "posture-first" principle is typically favored by elderly people in order to secure stance stability, but this comes at the

Dual task impairments in vascular dementia [PDF]
Several studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) demonstrate difficulties in doing two things at once or 'dual-tasking' and that this dual task impairment is insensitive to normal ageing, chronic depression or prodromal conditions ...

CHANGES IN DUAL-TASK GAIT VELOCITY COST FOLLOWING CONCUSSION
Background: Changes in gait velocity have been identified in the literature between concussed and non-concussed individuals. Concussed patients demonstrate slower gait speed; the gait velocity cost has not been evaluated as extensively.

Multitasking Effects on Perception and Memory in Older Adults
Performing multiple tasks in parallel is detrimental to performance, a phenomenon generically referred to as dual-task interference (DTi). Several variables can modulate DTi at the individual level, and increasing age is typically described as negatively
