Numerous studies showed decreased performance in situations that require multiple tasks
or actions relative to appropriate control conditions. Because humans often engage in such …

Until recently, gait was generally viewed as a largely automated motor task, requiring
minimal higher‐level cognitive input. Increasing evidence, however, links alterations in …

Despite the impressive complexity and processing power of the human brain, it is severely
capacity limited. Behavioral research has highlighted three major bottlenecks of information …

Cognitive function and the performance of a secondary, dual task may affect certain aspects
of gait, but the relationships between cognitive function and gait are not well understood. To …

Neurophysiological studies in primates and neuroimaging studies in humans suggest that
the orbito-frontal cortex is involved in representing the reward value of stimuli and in the …

Evidence for a dichotomy between the planning of an action and its on-line control in
humans is reviewed. This evidence suggests that planning and control each serve a …

The use of dual-task training paradigm to enhance postural stability in patients with balance
impairments is an emerging area of interest. The differential effects of dual tasks and dual …

Dual-task designs have been used widely to study the degree of automatic and controlled
processing involved in postural stability of young and older adults. However, several …

Walking is generally viewed as an automated, over-learned, rhythmic motor task and may
even be considered the lower-limb analog of rhythmic finger tap**, another automated …

Despite their popularity, dual process accounts of human reasoning and decision-making
have come under intense scrutiny in recent years. Cognitive scientists and philosophers …
