Survival processing occupies the central bottleneck of cognitive processing: A psychological refractory period analysis
Words judged for relevance in a survival situation are remembered better than words judged for relevance in a nonsurvival context. This survival...

Cross-modal psychological refractory period in vision, audition, and haptics
People’s parallel-processing ability is limited, as demonstrated by the psychological refractory period (PRP) effect: The reaction time to the second...

Investigating limits of task prioritization in dual-tasking: evidence from the prioritized processing and the psychological refractory period paradigms
Dual-tasking often requires prioritizing one task over the other. For example, in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, participants...

Dual-task interference and response strategies in simulated car driving: impact of first-task characteristics on the psychological refractory period effect
Presentation of a task T1 typically delays the response to a subsequent task T2, more so with high temporal task overlap than with low temporal...
-
Working memory involvement in action planning does not include timing initiation structure
A fundamental limitation in the type of information that can be retained in working memory is identified in this theoretical / review article. The...

Age-Differential Effects of Proactive Control in Dual Tasking: The Moderating Effect of Task Difficulty
Dual tasking refers to the ability to perform two concurrent tasks. Using the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, two experiments...
-
The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on performing a sequential dual task: a randomized experimental study
When it comes to simultaneous processing of two tasks, information processing capacity is usually below par and not desirable. Therefore, this...
-
Subjective estimates of total processing time in dual-tasking: (some) good news for bad introspection
Previous studies have shown severe distortions of introspection about dual-task interference in the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP) paradigm....

Dual-Task Performance with Simple Tasks
The present chapter focuses on a basic science perspective on dual-task performance with simple tasks. We will discuss how the investigation of...

Cognitive control and meta-control in dual-task coordination
When two tasks are presented simultaneously or in close succession, such as in the overlap** task paradigm of the psychological refractory period,...

Psychological and Interpersonal Factors Associated with Sexualized Drug Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review
Chemsex—the use of specific drugs during planned sexual activity to sustain or enhance sexual functioning (Bourne et al.,
2015 )—is widely reported as...
-
The bottleneck of the psychological refractory period effect involves timing of response initiation rather than response selection
The Psychological Refractory Period (PRP) effect is a delay in responding that is assumed to be caused by a bottleneck that prevents preparation of a...
-
Effect of additional tasks on the reaction time of braking responses in simulated car driving: beyond the PRP effect
The presentation of one task increases the reaction time on a subsequent task, if stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between tasks is short. This...

The effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on health-related quality of life, anxiety, depression, illness perception, and in atrial fibrillation patients: a six-month longitudinal study
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) often leads to an impaired Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in many patients. Moreover, psychological...
-
Dual task interference on early perceptual processing
When two tasks, Task 1 and Task 2, are conducted in close temporal proximity and a separate speeded response is required for each target (T1 and T2),...

Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on craving and state anxiety in tobacco use disorder
Abstinence from cigarettes is associated with withdrawal and anxiety symptoms, which are barriers to smoking cessation, although they may respond to...
-
The working memory costs of a central attentional bottleneck in multitasking
When two (or more) tasks, each requiring a rapid response, are performed at the same time then serial processing may occur at certain processing...

Severe enduring anorexia nervosa (SE-AN) treatment options and their effectiveness: a review of literature
IntroductionFor nearly 20% of patients diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa (AN), the eating disorder (ED) is prolonged and becomes long-lasting. It has...

Rehospitalisation of Patients with Enduring Schizophrenia After Discharge from a Long-Stay Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Unit
Psychiatric rehospitalisation is costly and impacts the community reintegration of patients with schizophrenia. Long-stay inpatient rehabilitation...

Multitasking costs on metacognition in a triple-task paradigm
Multitasking situations, such as using one’s phone while driving, are increasingly common in everyday life. Experimental psychology has long...
