The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate the effects of a reaction time (RT) task on postural control, during and following the execution. Three different RT tasks consisting in verbal responses to visual and auditory stimuli were supposed to require different demands on cognitive resources. There was also a control condition in which no concurrent task was required. Postural control was assessed using a force platform. Results showed that (1) center of foot pressure (COP) displacements significantly decreased while concurrently performing the RT tasks, (2) this effect lasted for at least 10 s following the secondary task performance and (3) COP displacements decreased similarly, whatever the attentional requirements of the secondary task.
