In the context of performance optimizations in multitasking, a central debate has unfolded in
multitasking research around whether cognitive processes related to different tasks proceed …

Is it possible to learn something without being aware of it? How does emotion influence the
way we think? How can we improve our memory? Fundamentals of Cognition, third edition …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

There is increasing interest in investigating work intensification as a new job demand.
However, its contribution beyond the state of work intensity remains unclear and is thus far …

To cope with ever-increasing work demands, people often turn to multitasking. Although it is
known that multitasking harms objective task performance, we know relatively little about …

A major control demand in successful dual-task performance is the task-specific separation
of task-goal representations and of the related stimulus–response translation processes. In …

Stress and additional load on the executive system, produced by a parallel working memory
task, impair decision making under risk. However, the combination of stress and a parallel …

Performing 2 highly similar tasks at the same time requires an adaptive regulation of
cognitive control to shield prioritized primary task processing from between-task (cross-talk) …

In dual-task studies, Task 1 performance is often improved when Task 2 requires a spatially
compatible response (ie, 1 on the same side)—the backward crosstalk effect (BCE). This …

The present chapter focuses on a basic science perspective on dual-task performance with
simple tasks. We will discuss how the investigation of dual-task performance with simple …
