Special Collection in the Journal of Cognition: The State-of-the-art of Research into Human Multitasking

Our Priority Program has guest edited a special collection of the Journal of Cognition, the official journal of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology, titled "The state-of-the-art of research into human multitasking".

For this special collection, Leif Johannsen, Andrea Kiesel, Iring Koch, and Hermann Müller served as guest editors. The special collection contains 15 peer-reviewed articles.
