Is better selective attention while standing possible without cost on postural sway?

Résumé

While it is known that posture and cognition interact, the mechanism of this interaction is still uncertain. This interaction falls under the concept of sharing resources, implying that resources for processing are limited. Many studies were conducted to understand this interaction; however, none have investigated the attention network task (ANT) in two common static postures in young adults. The purpose of this study was to test whether a given posture benefits the components of attention without dual-task (DT) cost, when cognitive and postural tasks are not overly demanding. This study presents the results of 37 healthy young adults performing the ANT in two postural conditions. Our results showed ANT performance with faster reaction times while standing than sitting without cost on postural parameters. This study raises the question of the contribution of posture variations in daily life. Knowledge gained from this research may lead to a better understanding of the interaction between posture and attention. Using “simple” postures, we aim to show that posture might facilitate the achievement of the cognitive activity.
