Numerous studies showed decreased performance in situations that require multiple tasks
or actions relative to appropriate control conditions. Because humans often engage in such …

A survey of the attention literature reveals the prominence of the attentional blink (AB)—a
deficit in reporting the second of two targets when presented in close temporal succession …

What is the time course of visual attention? Attentional blink studies have found that the 2nd
of 2 targets is often missed when presented within about 500 ms from the 1st target, resulting …

Response selection in task shifting was explored using a go/no-go methodology. The no-go
signal occurred unpredictably with stimulus onset so that all trials required task preparation …

Background. This study addresses the complex relationship between cognitive function and
the course of depression. Method. A sample of patients (n= 73) in a depressive episode …

Two experiments studied the emergence of bindings between stimulus features (object files)
and between stimulus and response features (event files) over time. Choice responses (R2) …

Three experiments investigated the impact of planning and preparing a manual grasping or
pointing movement on feature detection in a visual search task. The authors hypothesized …

Humans have difficulty processing more than one event at a time, as is evidenced by the
attentional blink ('blink') phenomenon: the second of two targets in a visual stream of events …

In 5 experiments, the authors investigated the costs associated with repeating the same or a
similar response in a dual-task setting. Using a psychological refractory period paradigm …

An examination of previous claims for virtually perfect time-sharing in dual-task situations
reveals confounding effects that may have obscured dual-task interference. Two …
