I found this exercise[1] useful at communicating the problem but not so much of a help on how to deal with it. [1] https://www.learningscientists.org/blog/2017

I found this exercise[1] useful at communicating the problem but not so much of a help on how to deal with it.

Importantly, every single student took longer to complete the combined Task 3 than the sum of the time it took them to complete both of the other tasks (Task 1 + Task 2). So, every student in my sample experienced task switching costs."
