Effects of increased cognitive load on field of view in multi-task operations involving surveillance

Many operations, such as air traffic control which requires simultaneous surveillance and communication, involve multi-tasking. Yet, research on ef-fects of multi-tasking on visual processing tend to revolve around driving. As such, similar effects on functional field of view in multi-tasking opera-...
