Description
Label a supplied task condition pair as repeat or switch.
Cognitive-task records distinguish stimuli, responses, exposure order, rating scales and adaptive timing. A stop-delay update does not estimate inhibition latency, and a screen-coordinate mapping is not a calibrated perceptual measure. Supplied observations and task flags do not themselves establish ability, diagnosis or a psychological mechanism.
Label a supplied task condition pair as repeat or switch.
When to use this tool
Use Task Switch Previous Condition Label when you already have previousCondition, currentCondition and need to label a supplied task condition pair as repeat or switch.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousCondition, currentCondition. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read classification. Use the output convention below.
Require both labels nonempty; exact equality gives repeat, otherwise switch.1

| currentCondition | Current Condition | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No actual task transition, rule, switch cost, response or cognitive process is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the complete experimental protocol, stimulus calibration, observation records and analysis plan. Use an appropriate full task and statistical analysis for a research interpretation; local timing, rating and coordinate transformations preserve only their declared conventions.
