At one time gait was primarily thought of as an automatic motor task with little cognitive input, it is only in the last few decades that we have come to realize the impact of cognitive function on locomotor control. Dual-task research paradigms have been designed to elucidate how cognition influences posture, overground walking as well as obstructed walking. The role of cognitive function in locomotor control is no longer questioned and in fact, some researchers have suggested that training for dual-task performance may assist some populations, e.g. older adults at risk of falling.

曾经，步态主要被认为是一种几乎不需要认知输入的自动运动任务，直到最近几十年，我们才意识到认知功能对运动控制的影响。双任务研究范式旨在阐明认知如何影响姿势、地上行走以及障碍行走。认知功能在运动控制中的作用不再受到质疑，事实上，一些研究人员认为，双任务表现训练可能对某些人群有帮助，例如有跌倒危险的老年人。
