Dual-tasking in language: Concurrent production and comprehension interfere at the phonological level

More information: amie.fairs@mpi.nl During conversation, people appear to plan their speech while comprehending others [1]. However, dual-tasking research has shown that both language production and comprehension interfere with, and can be interfered with by, a concurrent non-linguistic task [e.g. 2, 3]. Little research has tested whether language production and comprehension interfere with one another in a dual-task. Here we ask: Is there more dual-task interference when word production is combined with a linguistic than with a non-linguistic task?
