On the Economy of the Human-Processing System.

Navon, David; Gopher, Daniel

Psychological Review, v86 n3 p214-55 May 1979

An approach to human performance based on economic concepts is described; the human system employs utility considerations to determine allocation of its limited resources. The efficiency of those resources in performance depends on parameters characterizing the task and the performer. Models and interpretations of dual task performance are discussed. (Author/RD)
