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 ...

Age-related decrements in dual-task performance: Comparison of different mobility and cognitive tasks. A cross sectional study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
This cross-sectional study investigated the age-related differences in dual-task performance both in mobility and cognitive tasks and the additive dual-task costs in a sample of older, middle-aged and young adults. 74 older adults (M = 72.63±5.57 years),

An investigation of far response and stimulus modality transfer effects after dual-task training in younger and older adults

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
It has been shown that dual-task training leads to significant improvement in dual-task performances in younger and older adults. However, the extent to which training benefits to untrained tasks requires further investigation. The present study assessed

Brain activity during dual-task standing in older adults

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background In older adults, the extent to which performing a cognitive task when standing diminishes postural control is predictive of future falls and cognitive decline. The neurophysiology of such “dual-tasking” and its effect on postural control (i.e.,

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 ...

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.
