dual task performance

Dual-task and concurrent-task interference: the performance cost of doing a second task alongside driving (or vice versa) — degraded primary-task performance, multiple-resource competition, task trade-offs in controlled paradigms. The interference EFFECT of a concurrent task, distinct from how load is measured (workload_measurement) or felt (mental_demand).
