Primes

• Contextual Mode Switching
  • This cost is why effective agents minimize unnecessary switches and dwell sufficiently in each mode for fluent execution.

    This sourceCanonical review of the task-switching paradigm and the reaction-time 'switch cost.' Directly SUPPORTS the cognitive-switching-cost / switch-cost claim.

• Switching Cost
  • In cognitive science it is task-switching cost, with general, residual, and mixing-cost components and task-set inertia signatures — the canonical name for the human-attention substrate.

    This sourceTask-switching cost decomposed into general, residual, and mixing-cost components, with task-set inertia as the involuntary residual that preparation cannot eliminate.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
