At the time, I did not think about it much -- I was taking the bar, and then I was a first-year associate at a law firm pregnant with twins, so I didn't have time for many thoughts extraneous to immediate tasks at hand (topping the list: eating when I finally was able to and billing hours).
Finally yet importantly, extraneous effects of task order of the two combined tasks (B3 & B4, B6 & B7) were counterbalanced by two means.
Though some machines carry workers who manually sort out extraneous material, this task is increasingly being performed mechanically.
Soon, task conflict — which can help a team reach its goals — transforms into one that threatens a team's performance because it digresses into issues extraneous to the task at hand.
It is therefore essential to assess how extraneous factors may affect task performance, particularly for those tasks that are frequently used to quantify individual differences in cognitive ability.
Applying a basal letter-learning task related to the process of working memory updating, intrinsic cognitive load (by varying task complexity), extraneous cognitive load (via inducing split-attention demands) and germane cognitive load (by varying the presence of schemata) were manipulated within a 3 × 2 × 2-factorial full repeated-measures design.
The present study aimed to identify brain functional abnormalities specifically related to motor response inhibition in mania by using event-related fMRI in combination with a Go/NoGo task designed to control for extraneous cognitive processes involved in task performance.
Big data analysis also known as big data mining is a tedious task involving extraneous efforts to reduce data in a manageable size to uncover maximum knowledge patterns.
Why distract voters with all that extraneous information, and why pile multiple tasks onto a single screen?
These features may help reduce extraneous cognitive load related to content navigation tasks and interface visual noise [ 11, 47].
In a study we test hypotheses with regard to effects of the variation of sources for intrinsic cognitive load (increase of complexity within tasks) and the variation of sources for extraneous cognitive load (reduction of extraneous cognitive load between tasks) in three ability groups.
