The goal was to attempt to keep the mouse cursor within a moving (spasmodic) targeted area. After accomplishing the exercise on the computer they then performed an auditory task. All participants received feedback on their computer skills and then they were asked to determine their dual-task ability prior finally performing the two tasks at the same time. The majority of the participants correctly guessed reductions in their tracking performance under dual-conditions and overestimated the price of dual-tasking. It is noted that participants have little understanding on the extent to which they (as well as all others on the road) are vulnerable to the dangers of divided
