Task Shifting in Dual-Task Settings

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2002
When a participant is asked to perform two tasks in alternation, their mean reaction times were slower than when they performed the same tasks repeatedly. This “shift cost” has been hypothesized to reflect the time course of a single central executive that exerts control over thought and actions in task shifting.

Multi-task Learning with Task Relations

2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Data Mining, 2011
Multi-task and relational learning with Gaussian processes are two active but also orthogonal areas of research. So far, there has been few attempt at exploring relational information within multi-task Gaussian processes. While existing relational Gaussian process methods have focused on relations among entities and in turn could be employed within an ...

Task preparation and task repetition: Two-component model of task switching.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2001
The switch cost (the disadvantage of performing a new task vs. a repeated task) has been attributed to lack of preparation for the switched task or priming of the repeated task. These sources were examined by manipulating foreknowledge of task transition (repeat or switch), response-to-stimulus interval (RSI), and practice level.

Subjective Estimation of Task Time and Task Difficulty of Simple Movement Tasks

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2016
It has been demonstrated in previous work that the same neural structures are used for both imagined and real movements. To provide a strong test of the similarity of imagined and actual movement times, 4 simple movement tasks were used to determine the relationship between estimated task time and actual movement time.

Robust Task Grouping with Representative Tasks for Clustered Multi-Task Learning

Proceedings of the 25th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, 2019
Multi-task learning aims to learn multiple tasks jointly by sharing information among related tasks such that the generalization performance over different tasks could be improved. Although multi-task learning has been demonstrated to obtain performance gain in comparison with the single task learning, the main challenge that learning what to share ...

Task modeling for task-oriented robot programming

2017 22nd IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2017
A joint research between Politecnico di Torino and COMAU is going on, aimed at defining a task oriented programming approach to allow soft skilled programmers to develop optimized programs for complex robotic cells. Within this paradigm, the user is simply asked to specify the features of the robotic cell and a structured set of tasks defining the ...

Problems in modelling tasks and task views

Conference Sponsored by ACM SIGOIS and IEEECS TC-OA on Office information systems -, 1988
We present the rudiments of a new theory of tasks and task views. The motivating idea is essentially as follows: in an environment in which several organizational agents cooperate to accomplish a common task, each of the agents need only know its own part of the task — this is the agent's task view.

The mythical task

Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Systems documentation, 1990
We confront a time in society when phrases such as “information anxiety” have become cliches. As documentation developers, we have a mission to sort information into structures that help users perform their work on computers. Task-based documentation has emerged as one of the most popular models for explaining the principals of sorting information into

Task Analysis and the Characteristics of Tasks

Journal of Special Education Technology, 1983
As interest in task analytical procedures increases, the need to define the nature of tasks becomes evident. This article identifies and describes the various dimensions of tasks. The paper cautions against an exclusive focus on content when engaging in task analysis.
