What did studies of Sustained cognitive activity find?
2Studies of Sustained cognitive activity measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are cognitive interference task performance (1 study) and cognitive function (1).

Cognitive interference task performance
no changein humans1
Sustained cognitive activity has no effect on cognitive interference task performance in humans.
“The cognitive interference task performance (word list generation, arithmetic, and Stroop-task) during walking on the treadmill did not decrease after the SCA.”

Sustained cognitive activity is associated with gait performance in humans.
“Single- and dual-task gait performance (e. g., step width and step length) specifically changed after the SCA and after the reading control task in both groups.”
