A9.03
Task-Switching Cost
Cards in this group · 7
- A9.03.1Switching tasks requires reloading rules and goals
- A9.03.2Switch cost is higher when tasks are similar
- A9.03.3Apparent parallel processing is mostly rapid switching
- A9.03.4Switch cost has an active goal-reset component and a passive carryover-interference component
- A9.03.5Advance warning of a switch only partly reduces the cost, never eliminating it
- A9.03.6Switching from a simple to a complex task and the reverse carry asymmetric costs
- A9.03.7Frequent small switches can accumulate more total cost than a few large ones
