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 (markers 137).

• 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.
