Which of the following is a typical reason for using a dual-task paradigm?
A)To identify sources of interference and other constraints in information processing
B)To examine the acquisition of complex skills that involve multiple goals
C)To show that any given transformation of a representation can occur in multiple ways
D)To produce complex behavior in more than one medium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dual-task paradigm is typically used to identify sources of interference and other constraints in information processing. It involves performing two tasks simultaneously to investigate how cognitive resources are allocated, and to identify limitations on the amount of processing that can occur in a given time frame. Answer B is incorrect as examining the acquisition of complex skills that involve multiple goals is typically done through other experimental paradigms. Answer C is incorrect as showing that any given transformation of a representation can occur in multiple ways is typically done through other cognitive modeling techniques. Answer D is incorrect as producing complex behavior in more than one medium is typically done through other experimental paradigms.
