Abstract: | In 2 experiments, bimanual 1:1 rhythmic coordination was performed concurrently with encoding or retrieval of word lists. Effects of divided attention (DA) on coordination were indexed by changes in mean relative phase and recurrence measures of shared activity between the 2 limbs. Effects of DA on memory were indexed by deficits in recall relative to baseline. For DA at both encoding and retrieval, the equilibrium values of relative phase were shifted and the degree of shared activity between left and right rhythmic motions was reduced. Recall was reduced, however, only for DA at encoding. The results corroborate and extend those obtained with more conventional secondary tasks (e.g., visual reaction time), suggesting attention dissimilarities between episodic encoding and retrieval. |
