What this test measures

Multitasking Sonic adds an audio-driven demand layer on top of a multitask workload. It measures divided attention, response timing, and how well you protect the main task while processing sound prompts.

This is highly relevant to cockpit workload because pilots must often maintain control while reacting to auditory information, calls, and alerts.

How the simulation works

  1. 1
    A primary control or monitoring task remains active on screen.
  2. 2
    Audio cues are introduced while you continue managing the main task.
  3. 3
    You must react correctly to sonic prompts without over-fixating on them.
  4. 4
    The challenge is balancing the audio layer with visual task stability.
  5. 5
    Scoring reflects both response quality and total-control consistency.

What it looks like

Tips for this test

  • Protect the main task first; sonic prompts should be handled in short, clean reactions.
  • Do not over-listen after one missed sound cue; recover your scan immediately.
  • Train for a steady rhythm rather than perfecting every secondary prompt.
  • Keep posture and breathing stable so the audio layer does not pull you into panic switching.
