The researchers say this new system allowed them to train their robot to perform this stacking task with a single demonstration in the real world.
The box stacking task was somewhat more complex, and closely approximates stone toolmaking across the first 4 principle components.
Similarly, we expected the box stacking task would require an intermediate complexity between small object sorting and core manipulation, because more grasp variety and fine control is needed than in the sorting task, yet the shape of the objects being manipulated does not change as in stone toolmaking.

If there are multiple stacked tasks, short-term memory and vigilance degrade, making it more difficult for the physician to return to the original task.
As self-directed learners, EM residents opportunistically observe and reflect on positive and negative examples of multitasking and internalize the coping mechanisms faculty employ when dealing with the cognitive load of multiple stacked tasks.
For example, a resident taking history from a patient may fall prey to a confirmation or anchoring bias in order to expedite a return to his multiple stacked tasks, while an experienced faculty with insight into such biases may know when to deliberately slow down, pay attention, and delegate non-urgent tasks.
Box stacking task (Figure 5D): Three Styrofoam boxes were repeatedly precisely stacked upon each other (using the left hand only) and then unstacked.
Stacking the task force with friends of the coal, gas and oil industries and for all practical purposes shutting out environmentalists and consumers guaranteed a one-sided result in which the public at large is the loser.
For example, you can stack similar tasks together ("Emails to send today," "Web pages to read," "Images of cats to coo at").
