Multitasking and Task Switching
by Anonymous
Shift the mixing rate from 0 to 100 and measure how much time each switch between rules costs.
About this app
Multitasking and Task Switching is an interactive reaction-time activity that compares responding under one consistent rule with responding while switching between odd/even and size judgments. Adjust the mixing level from 0% to 100%, complete eight-turn rounds, and compare average response times. The app also separates stay turns from switch turns to estimate the time associated with changing rules.
