Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I aimed to investigate individual differences in cognitive information processing and social information processing, which occurred when cognitive resources were deprived by performing multiple simultaneous tasks. We are demanded in everyday life as a scene simultaneous tasks must be carried out under the constraints of cognitive resources, are driving cars or sorting out the necessary products at crowded stores, etc. This research was focused to clarify individual differences in carrying out multiple simultaneous tasks under deprivation of cognitive resources in such daily scenes.
