Task Integration Facilitates Multitasking
The aim of this study was to investigate multi-task integration in a continuous tracking task. We were particularly interested in how manipulating task structure in a dual-task situation affects learning of a constant segment embedded in a pursuit-tracking task. Importantly, we examined if dual-task effects could be attributed to task integration by varying the structural similarity and difficu...
متن کاملInferring Multitasking Breakpoints from Single-Task Data
Recent research has shown that computer users placed in a deferrable multitasking situation generally postpone secondarytask interruptions until points of low mental workload in the primary task. Studies examining this phenomenon have relied on empirical data that explicitly show user switch points in the course of multitask performance. This paper addresses a related question: Can these same s...
متن کاملClosure facilitates contour integration
Closed contours are often better perceived than those not fully enclosing an area, i.e., open contours. This facilitation of contour integration by closure, however, has been questioned arguing that in earlier studies closed contours were often "smoother" than open ones, because open contours usually had turning points. To solve this controversy, we compared detection performance for closed cir...
متن کاملDoes media multitasking always hurt? A positive correlation between multitasking and multisensory integration.
Heavy media multitaskers have been found to perform poorly in certain cognitive tasks involving task switching, selective attention, and working memory. An account for this is that with a breadth-biased style of cognitive control, multitaskers tend to pay attention to various information available in the environment, without sufficient focus on the information most relevant to the task at hand....
متن کاملThe Impact of Skill Integration on Task Involvement Load
The present study investigated whether word learning and retention in a second language are contingent upon a task's involvement load, i.e., the amount of need, search, and evaluation the task imposes. Laufer and Hulstijn (2001) contend that tasks with higher degrees of these three components induce higher involvement load, and are, therefore, more effective for word learning. To test this clai...
