Multitasking information behavior and information task switching: an exploratory study
Recent studies show that humans engage in multitasking information behaviors, often in libraries, as they seek and search for information on more than one information task. Multitasking information behaviors may consist of library search and use behaviors, or database or Web search sessions on multiple information tasks. However, few human information behavior models of seeking, searching or us...
متن کاملChoices, Choices: Task Selection Preference During Concurrent Multitasking
With the ever-increasing stream of information we are expected to deal with on a moment-to-moment basis, human multitasking behavior has become an important part of modern society. Multitasking can occur on many different timescales. Our interest is in concurrent multitasking: attempting to fulfill multiple goals in parallel. There have been many investigations to determine whether concurrent m...
متن کاملTask selection cost asymmetry without task switching.
The switch cost asymmetry (i.e., larger costs when switching from a nondominant into a dominant task than vice versa) has been explained in terms of the trial-to-trial carryover of activation levels required for the dominant versus the nondominant task. However, there is an open question about whether an actual switch in task is in fact necessary to obtain a "selection" cost asymmetry. In Exper...
متن کاملStimulus-based priming of task choice during voluntary task switching.
Two voluntary task-switching experiments probed the influence of previous exposures to stimuli and categorizations of these stimuli on task choice during subsequent exposures to the same stimuli. Subjects performed origin and size judgments under standard voluntary task-switching instructions to perform the tasks equally often in a random order. Both when subjects voluntarily selected the task ...
متن کاملThe association between media multitasking, task-switching, and dual-task performance.
The recent rise in media use has prompted researchers to investigate its influence on users' basic cognitive processes, such as attention and cognitive control. However, most of these investigations have failed to consider that the rise in media use has been accompanied by an even more dramatic rise in media multitasking (engaging with multiple forms of media simultaneously). Here we investigat...
