Extreme Clicking for Efficient Object Annotation (2017, background): “More generally, it avoids task-switching which is well-known to increase response time and decrease accuracy [52, 45].”
Learning Rapid-Temporal Adaptations (2017, background): “This occurs on the ﬂy, within only a few hundred milliseconds, and supports a wide variety of task-speciﬁc behaviors [25, 31].”
A context maintenance and retrieval model of organizational processes in free recall (2009, unknown): “Theories of task performance suggest that associative interference arising from previously active task representations is an important factor underlying reaction-time shift costs (Monsell, 2003).”
The effects of spacing and mixing practice problems (2009, background): “This alternation between different kinds of tasks typically produces a taskswitching cost (for a recent review, see Monsell, 2003).”
Rapid Adaptation with Conditionally Shifted Neurons (2017, background): “This occurs on the fly, within only a few hundred milliseconds, and supports a wide variety of task-specific behaviors (Monsell, 2003; Sakai, 2008).”
Meta‐analysis of neuroimaging studies of the Wisconsin Card‐Sorting task and component processes (2005, methodology): “Such studies have typically used a paradigm that has been termed “task switching” because it requires subjects to alternate between the performance of two or more tasks [for a review, see Monsell, 2003].”
Human–Agent Teaming for Multirobot Control: A Review of Human Factors Issues (2014, background): “if the participants have a chance to prepare for the switch or receive task switching cues [124]–[126], suggesting that alerts should be provided to the operator indicating the changes to the”
A unitary executive function predicts intelligence in children (2012, background): “…to alternate between adding and subtracting numbers, and (3) updating, a major component of working memory that is implicated in the manipulation of incoming information, indicated by keep track, tone monitoring, and letter memory tasks (Kane & Engle, 2003; Miyake et al., 2000; Monsell, 2003).”
Load theory of selective attention and cognitive control. (2004, result): “As for previous studies of dual-task coordination, these established a general performance cost for coordinating two tasks rather than one in the dual-task paradigm (e.g., Bourke, Duncan, & Nimmo-Smith, 1996) and for switching (vs. noswitching ) tasks in the task-switching paradigm (Monsell, 2003).”
The consequences of media multitasking for youth: A review (2015, unknown): “…that used performance-based tasks examined ﬁve control processes: (1) task switching (i.e., the ability to efﬁciently switch between multiple tasks, Monsell, 2003), (2) the ﬁltering of irrelevant informant (i.e., the ability to ignore irrelevant information from the environment and internal…”
A computational model of fractionated conflict-control mechanisms in task-switching. (2007, background): “Much of the recent debate regarding switch costs has focused on whether or not they reflect the work of an executive controller (Altmann, 2003; Monsell, 2003; Rogers & Monsell, 1995), which has thus far proven somewhat elusive (Logan, 2003; Logan & Bundesen, 2003).”
The role of the right inferior frontal gyrus: inhibition and attentional control (2010, background): “…of one object when attention is focused on another can be explained as a secondary effect, i.e., an emergent property of local competition when one competing item is subjected to top-down potentiating signals which have their source in the lateral prefrontal cortex (Norman and Shallice, 1980).”
Where is the bilingual advantage in task-switching? (2013, background): “That is, processing a cue induces a cost for the immediately following trial, even if switching the sorting criterion is not required (e.g. Allport, Styles, & Hsieh, 1994; Allport & Wylie, 2000; Kiesel et al., 2010; Monsell, 2003; Poljac, Koch, & Bekkering, 2009).”
Anxiety, Processing Efficiency, and Cognitive Performance New Developments from Attentional Control Theory (2009, methodology): “However, in neither case can it realistically be claimed that we have used “processpure” tasks (Monsell, 2003; Hutton & Ettinger, 2006).”
