Olfactory facilitation of dual-task performance

open access: yesNeuroscience Letters, 2005
We investigated the differential effects of olfactory stimulation on dual-task performance under conditions of varying task difficulty. Participants detected visually presented target digits from amongst a stream of visually presented distractor letters in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task.

Testing-the-limits of optimizing dual-task performance in younger and older adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Impaired dual-task performance in younger and older adults can be improved with practice. Optimal conditions even allow for a (near) elimination of this impairment in younger adults.

Cognitive and motor dual task gait training improve dual task gait performance after stroke - A randomized controlled pilot trial

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
This study investigated effects of cognitive and motor dual task gait training on dual task gait performance in stroke. Participants (n = 28) were randomly assigned to cognitive dual task gait training (CDTT), motor dual task gait training (MDTT), or ...

The Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Dual-Task Interference Depend on the Dual-Task Content

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Recently, some studies revealed that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces dual-task interference. Since there are countless combinations of dual-tasks, it remains unclear whether stable effects by tDCS can be observed on dual-task ...

Differential contributions of set-shifting and monitoring to dual-task interference [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Brain activity associated with Dual‐task performance of Ankle motor control during cognitive challenge

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2019
Introduction Skilled Ankle motor control is frequently required while performing secondary cognitively demanding tasks such as socializing and avoiding obstacles while walking, termed “Dual tasking.” It is likely that Dual‐task performance increases ...

Effects of different dual task training on dual task walking and responding brain activation in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The concurrent additional tasking impacts the walking performance, and such impact is even greater in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than in healthy elders.

Dual Task Performance in Children and Adolescents with ADHD [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioural Neurology, 2010
The study aimed at defining the dual-task performance characteristics in healthy children/adolescents on the computerised and the paper and pencil dual-task methods; investigating the effect of task difficulty on dual-task performance; testing if the paper and pencil version of the dual-task method is giving the same results in ADHD and healthy ...

Effects of fixed versus variable task prioritization during short-term dual task practice on motor and cognitive task performance in young adults

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2022
Objective It has been shown that variable compared to fixed task prioritization during dual task practice more effectively improves motor (i.e., postural control) and cognitive (i.e., memory) performance in older adults.

Dual Task Performance during Bimanual Coordination

open access: yesCortex, 1980
Right-handed men and women tapped two mechanical keys in time to an entraining metronome, using each hand alone and the two hands in alternation. Concurrently, they recited familiar nursery rhymes or read unfamiliar text out loud. The direction of interference from the language-based tasks on manual performance was measured relative to baseline ...
