In addition to a wide range of empirical findings and their theoretical integration, the editors provide a number of applications of multitasking, like training, interindividual differences and applied research in traffic and health psychology and music expertise.
The book is suitable for people interested in multitasking, that is, for researchers and graduate students of cognitive psychology, movement science, sport psychology, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive and neurological rehabilitation, aging sciences, and broader cognitive science.
Brings together dual task studies and task switching research for the first time;
Focuses on the cognitive cost related to multitasking, with an emphasis on movement science and training;
Creates a bridge between movement science and cognitive psychology.
