The neural correlates of problem states: testing FMRI predictions of a computational model of multitasking.

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that people can only maintain one problem state, or intermediate mental representation, at a time. When more than one problem state is required, for example in multitasking, performance decreases considerably. This effect has been explained in terms of a problem state b...
