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

How are performance and experience of a microtask affected by whether previous microtasks are of the same or different complexity as the current microtask?
Participants asked to complete a series of 3 microtasks on same content and evaluate their experience on final microtask using measures of time, quality, mental demand, helpfulness, enjoyment. The complexity of the final task was either H or L and the chain type was either same-complexity, different-complexity, or a control with no microtasks before the final task (LLL, HHL, L, HHH, LLH, H). Microtask order was randomized for all tasks except the final one (paraphrase for H, duplicateCheck for L).
Hypothesize that performance on an L task will not be affected by whether preceding tasks are of same or different complexity. Performance on an H task will be positively affected by same-complexity chains (HHH) and negatively affected by different-complexity chains (LLH).If switching from H to L/L to H imposes an additional cost, then HHL may have lower performance than L only and LLH may have lower performance than H only.
