Document Summary
You will be a little slower at completing one of the two tasks. Even when we have to complete two simple tasks at the same time, there is always a cost: simple task: respond to yellow light with left hand and green light with right hand. You will always be a little bit slower when responding to one of the lights (psychological refractory period there is a pause) **pashler"s response selector tries to answer this (possible sa: until the first stimulus is completed, it is hard to perceive the second stimulus, so, another interpretation speculates that there is no bottleneck at the perceptual delay in response. The delay occurs at the sensory processing level, and both stimuli are perceived at the same time. The delay occurs at response selection: third interpretation: perception of two stimuli at the same time is possible. Bottleneck is after we perceive the stimuli when we select our response to the stimuli.
