    "abstract": "Humans readily deploy external strategies in an attempt to offload cognitive work, a process commonly referred to\nas cognitive offloading. For example, individuals will often rotate their head in an attempt to normalize a rotated display (i.e.,\nexternal normalization). Previous work has emphasized how various manipulations affect the overall use of the behavior to\nbetter understand the underlying decision processes. This approach, however, has overlooked the potential utility in investigating\nhow these manipulations affect the time to initiate the use of strategy. We manipulated task difficulty with upright and\nrotated displays and measured initiation time and the overall use of external normalization. Analyses demonstrated that when\nindividuals rotate, rotations take the same amount of time to initiate across tasks, whereas overall frequencies of rotations varied\nas a function of task. This dissociation suggests that the time to initiate the strategy and external strategy selection are at least\npartly independent",
