selective interference paradigm

An experimental paradigm in which a secondary task has to be performed at the same time as a primary task. The secondary task is a source of interference for the primary task when the two tasks involve the same type of information (e.g. verbal information). The secondary task will not interfere with the primary task if the two tasks involve different information (verbal information in one task and spatial information in the other). This paradigm was used to justify the dissociation between the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad in Baddeley's model of working memory.
