Chain Reactions: The Impact of Order on Microtask Chains--Methods, Testing Ease in Q

  • How are performance and experience of a complex microtask affected when it is preceded by more simple microtasks? Can performing L microtasks help people start an H microtask sooner while simultaneously accomplishing a unit of work?
  • Participants asked to complete series of 3 microtasks, the final task always being an H task (paraphrase). The first 2 tasks were either L or M and the content was either the same or different from the final task (LLH_same, MMH_same, LLH_diff, MMH_diff). An H-only control was included as well. Participants were evaluated based on time, quality, mental demand, FirstTypeTime, momentum, and warm-up.
  • Hypothesize that same-content preceding tasks would yield stronger benefits than different-content preceding tasks and M preceding tasks would be more beneficial than L preceding tasks.
