The study of divided attention has a long history. Most early psychologists, like their contemporary counterparts, believed that consciousness could only be directed to a single activity at a time. Conscious attention to two different actions performed at the same time was thought to be possible only if they were coordinated into a single, higher-order activity, or attended to in rapid alternation. Otherwise, it was assumed that at least one of them was being carried out ‘automatically’, without conscious control (James, 1890; Woodworth, 1921).

The performance of these subjects is
not consistent with the notion that there are fixed limits to attentional capacity.
