How does practice reduce dual-task interference: Integration, automatization, or just stage-shortening?
TL;DR: Three hypotheses of how practice reduces dual-task interference are assessed: Practice teaches participants to efficiently integrate performance of a task pair; practice promotes automatization of individual tasks, allowing the central bottleneck to be bypassed; practice leaves the bottleneck intact but shorter in duration.

Why practice reduces dual-task interference.
TL;DR: Results from 3 further experiments support 4 main conclusions: a processing bottleneck exists even after extensive practice, the principal cause of the reduction in PRP interference with practice is shortening of Task 1 bottleneck stages, and the extent of PRP reduction with practice depends on the modalities of the 2 responses.

Vanishing dual-task interference after practice: has the bottleneck been eliminated or is it merely latent?
TL;DR: It is shown that a bottleneck need not produce any observable interference, provided that there is no temporal overlap in the demand for bottleneck stages on the 2 tasks, and that a "latent" bottleneck is especially likely after practice, when central stages are short.

Alcohol-induced impairment of behavioral control : differential effects on engaging vs. disengaging responses
TL;DR: Response disengagement affords some protection against alcohol-induced impairment of inhibition, indicating that not all aspects of motor processing requiring inhibition are equally impaired by alcohol.

Constraints on information processing under alcohol in the context of response execution and response suppression.
Mark T. Fillmore,Mark Van Selst +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence supports a resource limitation account that argues that alcohol reduces capacity to process information required for execution and suppression of responses on tasks requiring response execution and response suppression.
