Dual Task Impairments in Vascular Dementia [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2010 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 ...

Dual tasking impairments are associated with striatal pathology in Huntington’s disease [PDF]
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020 Background Recent findings suggest that individuals with Huntington’s disease (HD) have an impaired capacity to execute cognitive and motor tasks simultaneously, or dual task, which gradually worsens as the disease advances.

Definition:Dual-tasking and multitasking [PDF]
Cortex, 2018 Dual-tasking is the ability to perform two tasks simultaneously. Dual-tasking measures a component of executive function as participants are required to coordinate their attention to both tasks while they are being performed.

Analysis of Dual-Tasking Effect on Gait Variability While Interacting with Mobile Devices
Mathematics, 2022 Cognitive deficits are very difficult to diagnose during the initial stages; tests typically consist of a patient performing punctual dual-task activities, which are subjectively analyzed to determine the cognitive decline impact on gait.

Dual Task Performance in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2013 Several studies have found dual tasking to be impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but unaffected by healthy ageing. It is not known if this deficit is specific to AD, or also present in other neurodegenerative disorders that can occur in later life ...

Effects of Exergaming on Attentional Deficits and Dual-Tasking in Parkinson's Disease
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Introduction: Impairment of dual-tasking, as an attention-based primary cognitive dysfunction, is frequently observed in Parkinson's Disease (PD). The Training-PD study investigated the efficiency of exergaming, as a novel cognitive-motor training ...

Dual-Tasking in Multiple Sclerosis – Implications for a Cognitive Screening Instrument [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 The monitoring of cognitive functions is central to the assessment and consecutive management of multiple sclerosis (MS). Though, especially cognitive processes that are central to everyday behavior like dual-tasking are often neglected. We examined dual-

Preparatory brain activity in dual-tasking
Neuropsychologia, 2017 Task preparation in dual-tasking is more complex than preparation for single tasks and involves additional factors such as task prioritization. Utilizing event-related potentials, we sought to disentangle preparatory processes involving preparation on ...

Cognitive interference of respiratory versus limb muscle dual tasking in healthy adults [PDF]
ERJ Open ResearchBackground Inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) and associated dyspnoea have been shown to interfere with cognition during cognitive–motor dual tasking. However, ITL has not been compared with another rhythmic muscle activity, such as lower limb pedalling.
