task switching

Task switching: switch costs and mixing costs, task-set reconfiguration versus proactive interference accounts, cue-based switching paradigms, preparation effects, and voluntary task switching. The sequential-multitasking construct from cognitive psychology, distinct from dual_task_multitasking (concurrent performance of two tasks) and from executive_function (the broader control family that switching belongs to); papers whose core paradigm is alternating between task sets.
