Attention prioritization to talking during dual-tasking

Exposure

1 paper3 findings

C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

On aging: the drug’s trials ARN judged to be about aging, of every trial that tests it for any use.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.

Verbal output

no changein humans1

1 study

  1. Attention prioritization to talking during dual-tasking has no effect on verbal output in humans.

    “Verbal output was not significantly different on the 2 conditions.”

    Human trialcomparing the 2 WWT conditionsn = 189

Cadence

downin humans1

1 study

  1. Attention prioritization to talking during dual-tasking decreases cadence in humans.

    “velocity and cadence was slower during WWT-T compared with WWT-C, with longer stride length”

    Human trialcompared with paying attention to both talking and walkingn = 189

Walking velocity

downin humans1

1 study

  1. Attention prioritization to talking during dual-tasking decreases walking velocity in humans (median change, 28.3%).

    “subjects slowed down more on WWT-T (median change, 28.3%) than WWT-C (median change, 26.4%)”

    Human trialcompared with normal walking velocityn = 189
