In Experiment 1, participants demonstrated precrastination by picking up the near cup first and then returning with both cups, indicating a preference for minimizing cognitive effort. [1]However, in Experiment 2, where the task required higher demands on attention due to the high chance of spillage with cups of water, the near-object-first preference was eliminated. Participants did not show a clear preference for precrastination.The study found that increasing the attentional demands of the transport task reduced the probability of precrastination. Loading working memory with a secondary task did not necessarily increase the likelihood of making choices that conserve cognitive effort in the transport task. [2]Overall, the results suggest that precrastination is sensitive to cognitive load and that individuals adjust their task ordering behavior based on the demands of the task and the need to minimize cognitive effort.
