These studies compared the effect of two sets of instructions – variable priority instructions and fixed priority instructions – on dual-task performance following the same training.
Variable priority instructions, in which participants were asked to shift their attention back and forth between tasks, appeared to be more effective for improving performance than fixed priority instructions, in which participants focused on either the postural control task or the concurrent cognitive or motor task.
Variable priority instructions required the participant to focus on one task at a time (either the postural or the cognitive task) while the fixed priority instructions required the participant to focus on both the postural and cognitive tasks at all times.
