Abstract
Two viewpoints of attention are compared: one assumes restrictions in a central processor and the other restrictions on simultaneous activity in networks of processes. The distinction between central and distributed processing may not be strongly testable but the distinction between simultaneous and consecutive processing, for different processing functions, is. An analysis of data from a study on learning to type shows very clearly that simultaneous processing of stimulus input and response output is possible.Keywords
