Primes¶
- Contextual Mode Switching
- The number of modes is typically small (2–7), the boundaries are discrete, and the switching cost imposes a minimum dwell-time per mode.
This sourceThe 'less-is-more' account of critical-period effects in language acquisition. PARTIALLY SUPPORTING: it concerns age/maturation effects on acquisition, not 'cross-mode transfer' or how practice in one mode generalizes to another; the cross-mode-transfer framing over-reaches. Existence/details verified; flagged.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
