Abstract

Two problem situations are discussed with respect to the multiple task literature, one stemming from statistical artifacts derived by inappropriate data-analytic procedures and the other caused by a failure to utilize specific models which map theory into data-level descriptions. These issues are discussed as they apply to individual differences research and to investigations of cognitive processes, resources, and systems in multiple task performance. Examples and illustrations of these issues are provided.
