Abstract

Participants were cued to perform a task manually responding to an auditory stimulus, visual stimulus (single tasks), or both stimuli (dual tasks). Tasks were presented at short (400ms) and long (1200ms) cue-to-target-intervals (CTI). At short CTIs, there were multitasking costs that were not observed at long CTIs.
