Abstract

An experiment is described is in which subjects perform a compensatory tracking and a visual search task in dual and single task settings. The visual task was to search for and to count the number of relevant signals in a mixture of relevant and irrelevant signals. Visual search variables were colour, density, number of signals and number of relevant signals. Result clearly show interference in the dual task, mainly on tracking precision.
