About
Irina Monno’s research lies at the intersection of cognitive control, motor behavior, and decision-making, with a particular focus on how effort shapes voluntary task selection. Her most cited work, “The self-organized task switching paradigm: Movement effort matters” (2021), introduces a novel experimental framework that reveals how environmental and physical costs—such as waiting for a repetition-related stimulus—influence the balance between task persistence and flexibility. By demonstrating that movement effort can drive individuals to switch tasks even when repetition is advantageous, Monno provides critical insights into the hidden costs that govern everyday multitasking and cognitive efficiency. Though her citation count is still growing, this foundational paper has already attracted attention from researchers studying voluntary task switching and embodied cognition. Monno’s work is notable for bridging cognitive psychology with motor control, offering a more ecologically valid understanding of how humans navigate competing demands. Her paradigm challenges traditional assumptions about task selection, making her a promising voice in the study of effort-based decision-making and self-regulated behavior.
