| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During multitasking, the maintenance and processing of information need resources of working memory. Working memory system has a different capacity limit in each modality, thus its relation with any cognitive performance should be investigated considering this domain-specificity. In our daily life, we perceive information in various modalities, therefore research on multitasking in daily scenes needs virtual environment with controlled presentation of information. With cooperating Professor Logie in the University Edinburgh, I made a novel version of Edinburgh Virtual Errands Task (EVET), which has various types of objects in the virtual environment and investigated domain-specificity of multitasking daily scenes.
