Is multi-tasking complex?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (6):840-841 (1998)
| Abstract | In a simple economic decision problem with multi-tasking the dimensionality of the problem is neither a necessary nor a sufficient measure of complexity. Rather, dimension is good measure of complexity when there is an aggregate resource constraint that creates an interaction between the different activities, resulting in a problem with high algorithmic complexity. | |||||||||
