Task
Description
Transfer
Stroop task
An executive function task representing the type of tasks trained during practice. Participants hear the words “high” and “low,” spoken in either a high pitch or a low pitch; participants are instructed to report the pitch of the word (high/low), ignoring the actual word
Trained
Clock task
A visuospatial cognition task. Participants are instructed to generate a mental representation of a clock face and respond verbally (yes/no) based on where the hands of the clock would be for the given times
Untrained
Spontaneous speech
Spontaneous narrative in response to a stimulus question; highly relevant to everyday dual tasking
Untrained
Coin-transfer task
Participants wear a belt with pockets and transfer coins from one pocket to another
