Behavioral research has produced many task-specific cognitive models that do not say
much about the underlying information-processing architecture. Such an architecture is …

The psychological refractory period (PRP) refers to the fact that humans typically cannot
perform two tasks at once. Behavioral experiments have led to the proposal that, in fact …

Why is the human brain fundamentally limited when attempting to execute two tasks at the
same time or in close succession? Two classical paradigms, psychological refractory period …

People generally have difficulty doing two tasks at once. To explain this fact, theorists have
proposed that central processing—the thought-like stages following perceptual encoding …

Abstract E. Hazeltine, D. Teague, and RB Ivry (2002) have presented data that have been
interpreted as evidence against a central bottleneck. This article describes simulations of …

The authors investigated the impact of response activation on dual-task performance by
presenting a subliminal prime before the stimulus in Task 2 (S2) of a psychological refractory …

Performance is generally worse when performing multiple tasks than when performing a
single task, but there is debate about whether this multitasking interference arises due to a …

In the present study, we combined the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm with
a novel task-pair switching logic which enabled us to isolate performance costs occurring at …

In this research, the controversial issue of whether the central bottleneck can be bypassed
through task automatization was investigated. To examine this issue, participants received …
