Abstract
We investigated how our cognitive processes balance their workload between a current task and a future task. Previous research gave evidence to the idea that people modulate there thought processes in accordance with their expectations for a task demand. In this research 24 participants performed two consecutive computer tasks. During the second task the participants had to decide based on a set of instructions. During the first task participants had to judge whether displayed digits were odd or even. In between these digits inter-stimulus intervals were present, these inter stimulus intervals had a variable duration. In the first task the instruction for the second task could be requested. We hypothesized that with a higher inter-stimulus interval the participant would request instruction for the second task more frequently than in case of a lower inter-stimulus interval. The results from this experiment showed that participants did not request at random moments in time, but mostly at the start of the task. A change in moment of request was not found for different inter-stimulus interval duration.
