Individual Differences In Work Load While Doing Multitasking With A Computer

In the present study we examined the individual differences in work load while doing high and low cognitive load multimodal (audive + tactile or visual + tactile) tasks. We found among other things that participants that are characterized as having high information capacity had lower levels of work load and shorter reactions times during easy and difficult multitask as compared to participant that are characterized as having lower level of information processing capacity.
