Attention Week 2

The ability to avoid multitasking costs with practice could be due to within-task improvements such as faster processing and atomization, or outside-task improvements such as optimized attentional allocation and coordination.

The improvement in whole report over partial report is a problem for the classic limited capacity account, as it challenges the notion of limited capacity in processing and reporting multiple targets.

The evidence suggests that there is no difference between men and women in performance costs associated with multitasking.
