Cognitive sciences (as opposed to psychology) tell us that the visual-motor coordination skills of the human mind are re-entrant only to a minor degree. This means that if one is engaged in imagining a sensomotoric activity while performing another sensomotoric activity, one of them is going to suffer.

It is possible to chew on a gum while walking, as long as one doesn't try to visualise the deformations of the gum and the action of the mandible.
