Consequently, they will not interfere with problem solving associated with other tasks. Through preparation we can anticipate the unexpected. By reducing the amount of problem solving demanded by unexpected situations, we reduce the amount of task interference compared to what would otherwise result, and therefore reduce the likelihood of knock-on effects.
