Balancing Structural and Temporal Constraints in Multitasking Contexts

Abstract
Recent research has shown that when people multitask, both
the subtask structure and the temporal constraints of the
component tasks strongly influence people’s task-switching
behavior. In this paper, we propose an integrated theoretical
account and associated computational model that aims to
quantify how people balance structural and temporal
constraints in everyday multitasking. We validate the theory
using data from an empirical study in which drivers performed
a visual-search task while navigating a driving environment.
Through examination of illustrative protocols from the model
and human drivers as well as the overall fit on the aggregate
glance data, we explore the implications of the theory and
model for time-critical multitasking domains.
