Development of cognitive control and executive functions from 4 to 13 years: evidence from manipulations of memory, inhibition, and task switching. (2006, background): “Cohen et al. (2001) found greater local switch costs in accuracy, but not in RT, in children 5–11 years of age compared to adults using Meiran’s task-switching paradigm adapted for children.”
Validating human-robot interaction schemes in multitasking environments (2005, background): “the cost of switching between tasks [45], [46] and the design of interfaces to support switching [47].”
Executive Functions (2012, positive): “Children show much larger differences in their speed (like older adults) and accuracy (unlike older adults) on mixed blocks versus single-task blocks than do young adults (Cepeda et al. 2001, Cohen et al. 2001).”
