Document Summary

How is this done: active attention requires that the observer distinguish between what is deemed to be relevant (and thus should be processed further) and what is deemed to be not relevant (and thus can be ignored, at which point further processing should cease), distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant input turns out however to be a rather complex task. Multitasking: multitasking and parallel processing, resources for carrying out controlled tasks are limited but , more than one task can be carried out simultaneously (i. e. , in parallel) at no cost (i. e. , detriment in performance on any of the tasks) if sufficient resources are available, this is also called divided attention, often however, resources are not available, then, the observer must decide which task to process, the tasks are then carried out using serial processing, note that the processing of one task must be completed before processing of the other begins.
