What did studies of Variable-priority dual-task training find?
2Studies of Variable-priority dual-task training measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are far modality transfer task performance (1 study) and near modality transfer task performance (1).
Far modality transfer task performance

1 study
Far modality transfer task performance
upin humans1
Variable-priority dual-task training improves far modality transfer task performance in humans.
“Evidence for larger transfer effects in VPT than FPT on a far modality transfer task was also observed.”
