Key Points

The study aims to explore how ideomotor compatibility influences the efficiency of time sharing during simultaneous decision tasks.
Eight subjects participated under High and Low Ideomotor Compatibility conditions.
Tasks required rapid independent decision responses to auditory and visual stimuli.
Performance was measured for speed and accuracy of responses.
High ideomotor compatibility led to perfectly efficient time sharing of tasks with no loss in speed or accuracy.
Low ideomotor compatibility resulted in inefficient time sharing, confirming the hypothesis.
Task performance demonstrated that decision-making processes have limited capacity when sharing resources.
