Description:
The resources allocated to a primary and secondary task are reciprocal. Subjects performed a tracking task in which the discrete displacements of the tracking cursor could be used to elicit event-related brain potentials. As the resource demands of the tracking task were increased, potentials elicited by the task-defined events increased in amplitude, whereas those elicited by secondary task auditory stimuli decreased.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wickens, C -- Kramer, A -- Vanasse, L -- Donchin, E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 9;221(4615):1080-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6879207" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
