{"pk":32351,"title":"Dual-task Interference When a Response is Not Required","subtitle":null,"abstract":"When subjects are required to respond to two stimuli presented in rapid succession, responses to the second stimulus are delayed. Such dual-task interference has been attributed to a fundamental processing bottleneck preventing simultaneous processing on both tasks. Two experiments show dual-task interference even when the first task does not require a response. The observed interference is caused by a bottleneck in central cognitive processing, rather than in response initiation or execution.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8rx0d95v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Mark","middle_name":"Van","last_name":"Selst","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University","department":""},{"first_name":"James","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Johnston","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1997-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32351/galley/23416/download/"}]}
