Evolutionary Multitasking: A Computer Science View of Cognitive Multitasking [PDF]
Cognitive Computation, 2016 The human mind possesses the most remarkable ability to perform multiple tasks with apparent simultaneity. In fact, with the present-day explosion in the variety and volume of incoming information streams that must be absorbed and appropriately processed, the opportunity, tendency, and (even) the need to multitask are unprecedented.

Machine Learning, 1997 Multitask Learning is an approach to inductive transfer that improves generalization by using the domain information contained in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning tasks in parallel while using a shared representation; what is learned for each task can help other tasks be learned better.

Experimental Economics, 2012 AbstractWe examine how multitasking affects performance. We also examine whether individuals optimally choose their degree of multitasking or whether they perform better under an externally imposed schedule. Subjects in our experiment perform two different tasks according to one of three treatments: one where they perform the tasks sequentially, one ...
