• Description:
  Dual tasking (DT), or completing more than one task concurrently, has become a common practice. This practice requires the allocation of one's limited attentional resources to different tasks in a proportion that allows for the safe execution and completion of both tasks. With nearly 70% of the adult and teen population owning a cell phone, it is unsurprising that cell phone-based DTs have become an everyday occurrence in the lives of many.
