  • Title: Increased control demand results in serial processing: evidence from dual-task performance.
    Author: Luria R, Meiran N.
    Journal: Psychol Sci; 2005 Oct; 16(10):833-40. PubMed ID: 16181448.
    Abstract:
    Increased demands on cognitive control trigger changes in processing mode. One such modulation involves a shift from parallel to serial processing. This study assessed the role of control demand in determining whether dual-task processing is performed serially or in parallel. We used two critical indices, based on the response-selection bottleneck model, to show that response selection was serial when a task switch was involved, but partly parallel when the simultaneous performance of the tasks did not involve task switching.
