A Componential Approach to the Investigation of Individual Differences in Time-Sharing (dual-Task Performance, Information Processing)

Time-sharing ability as an individual differences variable in dual-task performance was examined using a componential model. Five proposed components were assessed: (1) serial processing ability, (2) an internal model of the system dynamics, (3) maintenance of different operations in working memory, (4) adaptation to rapidly changing dynamic conditions, and (5) parallel processing ability. The approach combined methodologies from experimental psychology and from individual differences research.
