Abstract
One of the most characteristic features of human cognition is our inability to execute multiple control-demanding tasks simultaneously. Our work suggests that multitasking limitations may arise from a fundamental tradeoff between the use of shared task representation for learning efficiency and the benefits of separate task representation for multitasking performance.
