Article Synopsis
- This study examined how dividing attention affects movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) in elderly individuals performing dual tasks.
- Eleven participants completed a tapping task alone and then while also counting numbers, with the complexity of the counting task varied.
- The results showed that greater attention diversion (more complex dual task) led to increased variability in movement and higher MRCP amplitudes, indicating the importance of attention in preparing and executing movements in older adults.
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of divided attention on motor-related cortical potential (MRCP) during dual task performance while the difficulty of the secondary task was altered. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-two right-handed healthy volunteers participated in the study. MRCPs were recorded during two tasks, a single task (ST) and a simple (S-DT) or complex dual task (C-DT).
