- Baddeley
  - What done?
    - Participants asked to track a moving light while doing one of two other tasks
      - Group 1
        Describe the angles of a letter 'F'
      - Group 2
        Verbally tell a story
  - What found?
    - Participants doing two spatial tasks were less effective
      - Due to limited capacity in VSS
    - Participants doing one spatial did task more effectively
  - So what?
    - Support for separate VSS and PL
    - Can perform visual and auditory tasks together
- Eslinger
  - Patient EVR could perform reasoning tasks but not decision making
  - Suggests CE is functional but not entirely
    - Model does not allow for this
      - Reductionist Model
Participants doing two spatial tasks were less effective
- Due to limited capacity in VSS
