Aging and dual-task performance: A meta-analysis.
Abstract
The relations between dual-task effects and aging were examined through a meta-analysis of 33 studies (with 48 independent participant groups) using latency as the dependent measure and 30 studies (with 40 independent participant groups) focusing on accuracy. Brinley plots and state traces were derived, and a model to explicate different types of complexity (additive and multiplicative) was developed. The effects of dual-task processing on latency were additive, and this additive cost was larger in older adults than in younger adults and larger than predicted from general slowing. This cost was small and independent of task complexity. The effects of dual-task processing on logit-transformed accuracy were likewise additive, but no specific age deficit was associated with this dual-task cost.

A meta-analysis concluded there is evidence for a specific age-related difference in dual-task response latency costs over and above age-related general slowing.
“Verhaeghen, Steitz, Sliwinski, and Cerella (2003) concluded that evidence exists for a specific agerelated difference in dual-task response latency costs over and above age-related general slowing.”

“If one assumes that the age deficit in central processes takes the usual multiplicative form within families of processes (see, e.g., Cerella, 1990; Hale & Myerson, 1996), then the choice of model for dual-task costs will lead to distinct predictions concerning the type of linear functions found in…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
