Experiment 1b replicated the procedure of Experiment 1a but with the addition of a central manual tracking task, to test whether concurrent task load reduced processing resilience.
An important step in such an automated flow is allocating and scheduling the concurrent tasks to the processing and communication resources in the architecture.
These results suggest that the demands of encoding or recognizing redundant targets can divert processing resources from a concurrent task, producing interference.
Experiment II employed a 2×3 design, including two training conditions (imagery and actual mirror-reading) and three competing task conditions (a spelling and counting switching task, a visual working memory concurrent task, and no concurrent task).
To prevent a possible attention-sharing effect, no concurrent task was required.
Beyond purely chronometric measures, this hypothesis establishes a critical prediction for simple decision tasks; If the processing stages involved in a cognitive task are merely rescheduled during dual task performance, the quality of the decision should be unaffected by a concurrent task.
Classically, a dual-task paradigm is used to test, at a behavioral level, if neural resources called upon by a concurrent task participate to a principal task [40] [43].
This indicates that with no concurrent task demands, groups' performance on the RIG task was equivalent.
Concerning the character of the secondary activities, documentation was most often performed as a concurrent task.
It successively allocates processing resources between concurrent tasks, as in dual-task performance and it keeps relevant information in working memory to allow a return to the main task after completing a secondary task.
The system incorporates a number of proprietary technologies for the specialized demands of processing an enormous number of concurrent tasks and data while analyzing information in real time.
