Effect of modality compatibility on dual-task performance in a more naturalistic environment

Key Points

• Dual-task performance changes based on modality compatibility, leading to varying cognitive loads.
• Participants exhibited different performance metrics when tasks were more or less compatible with each other.
• The study investigates how cognitive load affects performance during dual-task scenarios in real-world settings.
• Findings suggest that optimizing modality compatibility may enhance task efficiency in everyday situations.
