Editing Interference theory (section)

====Cross talk models====
Cross-talk is the communication between sensory inputs, processing, and the thoughts of the individual.<ref name="Pashler"/> The theory is that if two processes are being activated, and they are not similar in any way (making cookies and going on vacation), the brain will be confused as separate cognitive areas are being activated, and there is conflicting communication between the two.<ref name="Pashler"/> Contrastingly, if the two processes are similar (making cookies and pouring milk), there will be less crosstalk and more productive and uninterrupted cognitive processing.<ref name="Pashler"/>

[[Crosstalk (biology)|Crosstalk]] is used by engineers to discuss the degradation of communication channels due to context dependence.<ref name="Pashler"/>

Navon and Miller claim that Dual-Task Interference is caused by an outcome conflict, which is a result of one task producing, "outputs, throughputs, or side effects that are harmful to the processing of the [other task]".<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Navon | first1 = D | last2 = Miller | first2 = J.O. | year = 1987 | title = Role of outcome conflict in dual-task interference | url = https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a095/db3a294bc6d993ae63d0faa351051c1900e4.pdf | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200220030815/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a095/db3a294bc6d993ae63d0faa351051c1900e4.pdf | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2020-02-20 | journal = Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance | volume = 13 | issue = 3| pages = 438–448 | doi=10.1037/0096-1523.13.3.435| pmid = 2958592 | s2cid = 31522771 }}</ref> This is the concept of Interference Theory. The thoughts, outputs, and side effects of one task either affect the previous or subsequent recall.
