“…Only a few previous studies have tested the effects of crossmodal attention on 40‐Hz ASSRs by manipulating the difficulty or load of the visual task. These visual tasks had several different load levels: detecting an easy versus difficult target (Parks, Hilimire, & Corballis, 2011), detecting versus discriminating a change in target brightness (de Jong, Toffanin, & Harbers, 2010), reading versus performing a visual search task (Griskova‐Bulanova, Ruksenas, Dapsys, Maciulis, & Arnfred, 2011), playing an easy versus difficult Tetris game (Roth et al., 2013), flying an airplane in a flight simulator during self‐reported low versus high mental workload (Tsuruhara, Arake, Ogawa, Aiba, & Tomitsuka, 2015), and performing n ‐back tasks with different n to vary the difficulty (Yokota & Naruse, 2015; Yokota, Tanaka, Miyamoto, & Naruse, 2017).…”
