Logie's dual-task procedure results were consistent with domain-specific resource accounts because they suggested that different types of tasks (verbal vs. visual) draw on separate pools of cognitive resources, rather than a single, general pool. This means that performing a verbal and a visual task simultaneously would not necessarily interfere with each other as much as two tasks of the same type would, supporting the idea of domain-specific resources.
