Seeing tones and hearing rectangles - Attending to simultaneous auditory and visual eventsThe allocation of attention in dual-task situations depends on both the overall and the momentary demands associated with both tasks. Subjects in an inclusive- or reaction-time task responded to changes in simultaneous sequences of discrete auditory and visual stimuli. Performance on individual trials was affected by (1) the ratio of stimuli in the two tasks, (2) response demands of the two tasks, and (3) patterns inherent in the demands of one task.
