METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING A DEMAND OR AN ATTENTIONAL COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXECUTION OF A TASK OR ATTENTION SHARING STRATEGIES DEVELOPED BY AN INDIVIDUAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for estimating the attentional resources invoked for the execution of a primary task and/or attention sharing strategies developed by an individual, said method being implemented in a mobile terminal and being based on the utilization of the dual-task paradigm, noteworthy in that it comprises the following steps: —Evaluation (10) of first performance ratings of the individual during the execution of a primary task alone, —Evaluation (20) of second performance ratings of the individual during the execution of a secondary task alone, —Evaluation (30) of third performance ratings of the individual during the simultaneous execution of the primary and secondary tasks, —Estimation (40) of the attentional demand required for the execution of the primary task and/or of the effect (beneficial or negative) of a secondary task on the control mechanisms involved in the execution of the primary task and/or attention sharing strategies developed by an individual by comparing the first, second and third performance ratings evaluated during the previous steps.
