Nearly 6000 adults from 7 countries participated in an online survey about what other activities they engaged in while taking the survey and how distracted they felt. Younger people were more likely than older ones to engage in electronic and non-electronic multitasking. Engaging in a wider range of tasks was associated with feeling more distracted. However, once the variety of tasks was taken ...

The present study was designed to compare the auditory and visual reaction time on an Audiovisual Reaction Time Machine with the concomitant use of mobile phones in 52 women and 30 men in the age group of 18-40 years. Males showed significantly (p < 0.05) shorter reaction times, both auditory and visual, than females both during single task and multi task performance. But the percentage increas...

PURPOSE Cognitive enhancements are associated with sport training. We extended the sport-cognition literature by using a realistic street crossing task to examine the multitasking and processing speed abilities of collegiate athletes and nonathletes. METHODS Pedestrians navigated trafficked roads by walking on a treadmill in a virtual world, a challenge that requires the quick and simultaneou...

Using a modified version of the Virtual Errands Task (VET; McGeorge et al. in Presence-Teleop Virtual Environ 10(4):375-383, 2001), we investigated the executive ability of multitasking in 18 high-functioning adolescents with ASD and 18 typically developing adolescents. The VET requires multitasking (Law et al. in Acta Psychol 122(1):27-44, 2006) because there is a limited amount of time in whi...

Concurrent C (ConcC) [ 1 ] is a relatively new language that extends the C programming language [ 21 by incorporating multitasking facilities. These facilities are mainly based on the bidirectional rendez-vous concept, and they offer flexible and efficient mechanisms for the specification of concurrency, communication and synchronization often required in real-time systems. However, as for most...

A variety of techniques exist for eliciting acute psychological stress in the laboratory; however, they vary in terms of their ease of use, reliability to elicit consistent responses and the extent to which they represent the stressors encountered in everyday life. There is, therefore, a need to develop simple laboratory techniques that reliably elicit psychobiological stress reactivity that ar...

This paper introduces elements to facilitate crossing of the gap between analysis and design in the case of real-time applications relying on multitasking operating system. The chosen specification method is based on the use of Shaw’s CRSM Communicating Real-Time States Machines and our purpose is to put the basis of a method for an easier translation of a CRSM-based modelling of a system into ...

With the advent of mobile and handheld devices, power consumption in embedded systems has become a key design issue. Recently, it has been shown that cache requirements of the applications vary widely and a significant amount of energy can be saved by tuning the cache parameters according to the needs of the application. To this end, techniques have been proposed to tune the cache for single-ta...
