Research:
Dual tasking investigates the impact on performance, such as how the tasks might interfere with each other, the division of attention, and the cognitive load imposed by handling multiple tasks. The efficiency and effectiveness of dual tasking can vary based on factors like task complexity, individual cognitive capacity, and the familiarity of the tasks being performed.
