Selective memory disrupted in intra-modal dual-task encoding conditions
Given natural memory limitations, people can generally attend to and remember high-value over low-value information even when cognitive resources are...

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...

The surprising role of stimulus modality in the dual-task introspective blind spot: a memory account
Being able to accumulate accurate information about one’s own performance is important in everyday contexts, and arguably particularly so in complex...
-
Learning of across- and within-task contingencies modulates partial-repetition costs in dual-tasking
Dual-task costs might result from confusions on the task-set level as both tasks are not represented as distinct task-sets, but rather being...
-
Element-level features in conjoint episodes in dual-tasking
The usual way of thinking about dual-tasking is that the participants represent the two tasks separately. However, several findings suggest that the...

What is word? The boundary conditions of task conflict in the Stroop task
The Stroop task is characterized by two types of conflicts—information conflict (between the incongruent word and ink color) and task conflict...
-
Crosstalk, not resource competition, as a source of dual-task costs: Evidence from manipulating stimulus-action effect conceptual compatibility
Two related accounts of dual-task costs—multiple resource competition and crosstalk—explain why costs can be reduced when there is less overlap...

The left digit effect in an unbounded number line task
The left digit effect in number line estimation refers to the phenomenon where numerals with similar magnitudes but different leftmost digits (e.g.,...

Psychopathy is associated with an exaggerated attention bottleneck: EEG and behavioral evidence from a dual-task paradigm
Psychopathy is a personality disorder associated with a chronic disregard for the welfare of others. The attention bottleneck model of psychopathy...

Investigating task preparation and task performance as triggers of the backward inhibition effect
Backward inhibition is posited to aid task switching by counteracting the tendency to repeat a recent task. Evidence that factors such as cue...

A bonus task boosts people's willingness to offload cognition to an algorithm
With the increased sophistication of technology, humans have the possibility to offload a variety of tasks to algorithms. Here, we investigated...

The impact of predictability on dual-task performance and implications for resource-sharing accounts
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of predictability on dual-task performance by systematically manipulating predictability in either...

Response uncertainty influences response bias in the sustained attention to response task: a signal detection theory perspective
In the current investigation, we modified the high Go, low No-Go Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) by replacing the single response on Go...
-
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....

Multiple components of statistical word learning are resource dependent: Evidence from a dual-task learning paradigm
It is increasingly understood that people may learn new word/object map**s in part via a form of statistical learning in which they track...
-
Voluntary task switching is affected by modality compatibility and preparation
Cognitive task control can be examined in task-switching studies. Performance costs in task switches are usually smaller with compatible...
-
The effect of impulsive personality traits on prospective memory under different task importance conditions
BackgroundProspective memory (PM) refers to the ability to perform planned activities in the appropriate future situations. It needs to be planned in...
-
Resilience of perceptual metacognition in a dual-task paradigm
When people do multiple tasks at the same time, it is often found that their performance is worse relative to when they do those same tasks in...
-
Secondary task engagement drives the McCabe effect in long-term memory
Processing that occurs while information is held in working memory is critical in long-term retention of that information. One counterintuitive...

The Effects of Problematic Internet Use and Emotional Connotation on Internet Slang Processing: Evidence from a Lexical Decision Task
Young people use slang for identifying themselves with a particular social group, gaining social recognition and respect from that group, and...
