Monitoring Performance with a Time-Shared Encoding Task

Abstract
52 college students performed a task requiring the detection of a critical signal and subsequent differential serial recall. The effects of auditory vs visual mode and independent vs time-shared presentation were investigated. Detection was significantly enhanced under the time-shared presentation mode while serial recall was unaffected. For detection visual presentation yielded significantly better performance. Effects of time-sharing seem differentially related to the characteristics of the task.
