Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study is to investigate the whether multi-tasking performance in (three-dimensional) 3D aid or impede cognition compare to (two-dimensional) 2D environments, as reflected by cognitive load. Specifically, we aim to examine the mechanism of multi-tasking under 3D (virtual reality [VR]) and 2D (PC monitor) conditions using the widely used Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MATB) II paradigm.

Methodology

The MATB-II sub-tasks, namely “Tracking” and “System Monitoring,” were conducted with varying task demands in both 3D conditions (Tracking Far - System Monitoring Near [TF-SN], Tracking Near - System Monitoring Far [TN-SF]) and a 2D condition with no depth perception (No Depth [ND]). Participants' cognitive load was assessed using subjective reporting (NASA-TLX) and physiological measure (root mean square of successive difference (RMSSD) of heart rate variability (HRV)).

Results

The study found that performance was significantly better in the ND condition compared to the TF-SN and TN-SF conditions. Furthermore, higher NASA-TLX scores and lower RMSSD values were observed in the TF-SN and TN-SN conditions compared to the ND condition, providing additional support for the overall findings of the MATB-II paradigm.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that processing multiple tasks in different depth planes may lead to poorer performance and increased subjective and physiological cognitive load.

三维（3D）刺激总是比二维（2D）多任务处理更好？3D-MATB-II中的高认知负荷。

研究目的本研究的目的是通过认知负荷反映出，与（二维）二维环境相比，（三维）三维环境中的多任务处理表现是有助于还是阻碍认知。具体来说，我们旨在使用广泛使用的多属性任务电池（MATB）II范式，研究三维（虚拟现实[VR]）和二维（PC显示器）条件下的多任务机制：MATB-II的子任务，即 "跟踪 "和 "系统监控"，在3D条件（远距离跟踪-近距离系统监控[TF-SN]，近距离跟踪-远距离系统监控[TN-SF]）和无深度知觉的2D条件（无深度[ND]）下，以不同的任务要求进行。参与者的认知负荷通过主观报告（NASA-TLX）和生理测量（心率变异性的连续差值均方根（RMSSD））进行评估：研究发现，与 TF-SN 和 TN-SF 条件相比，ND 条件下的成绩明显更好。此外，与 ND 条件相比，TF-SN 和 TN-SN 条件下的 NASA-TLX 分数更高，RMSSD 值更低，这为 MATB-II 范式的总体研究结果提供了更多支持：这些研究结果表明，在不同深度平面上处理多个任务可能会导致较差的表现，并增加主观和生理认知负荷。

期刊介绍： Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
