Chunking in task sequences modulates task inhibition.
In a study of the formation of representations of task sequences and its influence on task inhibition, participants first performed tasks in a predictable sequence (e.g., ABACBC) and then performed the tasks in a random sequence. Half of the participants were explicitly instructed about the predictable sequence, whereas the other participants did not receive these instructions. Task-sequence le...
متن کاملTask-set inhibition in chunked task sequences.
Exploring the hierarchical control relationship between different levels of representation and processing is important for understanding how the mind controls itself. In the present study, the relationship between chunking (a sequence-level process) and task-set inhibition (a task-level process) in the performance of task sequences was investigated to evaluate the hypothesis that within-chunk f...
متن کاملTask-relevant chunking in sequence learning.
In the present study, we investigated possible influences on the unitization of responses. In Experiments 1, 2, 3, and 6, we found that when the same small fragment (i.e., a few consecutive responses in a sequence) was presented as part of two larger sequences, participants responded to it faster when it was part of the sequence that was presented more often. This indicates that chunking can be...
متن کاملResponse Inhibition Modulates Response Conflict in Task Switching
Although response repetition (RR) effects vary considerably between conditions and studies, little is known about the causes. Recently, RR costs on task switch trials have been found to be larger for incongruent stimuli that activate both alternative responses than for neutral ones. Here, we investigated if this modulation can be explained by an amplification of response conflict account (ARC)....
متن کاملTask inhibition and task repetition in task switching
In task-switching experiments with three tasks, the relative cost of an N 2 task repetition (task sequence ABA) compared to a task switch (task sequence CBA) is referred to as N 2 repetition cost. N 2 repetition cost is assumed to reflect persisting inhibition of a task that was recently switched away from. In two experiments, we explored whether the occurrence of task repetitions has an influe...
