SUMMARY
In sum, previous findings suggest that under certain conditions, cognitive dual tasks increase the effect of gait perturbations due to the cognitive distraction, therefore increasing the risk of falling. This has been shown for terrain negotiation, where rougher terrain resulted in lowered gaze on average (Matthis et_al 2018; `t Hart and Einhäuser 2012), as well as for experimentally perturbed walking (Kopiske et_al 2021), where perturbations not only evoked immediate gaze responses, but also led participants to look down more on average between slips, especially when perturbations were not visually cued ahead of time . . .
