Task-Switching Cost

Cards in this group · 7

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