On the Uninterpretability of Dual-Task Performance.
Howe, Mark L.; Rabinowitz, F. Michael
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v47 n1 p32-38 Feb 1989
Argues that dual-task performance is currently not interpretable because several compatible hypotheses have been offered to account for dual-task interference. Demonstrates inability to discriminate among alternative hypotheses by constructing a model which includes limited resources and response competition and requires running at least eight groups and scaling single- and dual-tasks on the same dimension.
