Reactive control processes contributing to residual switch cost and mixing cost across the adult lifespan
In task-switching paradigms, performance is better when repeating the same task than when alternating between tasks (switch cost) and when repeating a task alone rather than intermixed with another task (mixing cost). These costs remain even after extensive practice and when task cues enable advanced preparation (residual costs). Moreover, residual reaction time mixing cost has been consistentl...
متن کاملVariability in Proactive and Reactive Cognitive Control Processes Across the Adult Lifespan
Task-switching paradigms produce a highly consistent age-related increase in mixing cost [longer response time (RT) on repeat trials in mixed-task than single-task blocks] but a less consistent age effect on switch cost (longer RT on switch than repeat trials in mixed-task blocks). We use two approaches to examine the adult lifespan trajectory of control processes contributing to mixing cost an...
متن کاملThe nature of residual cost in regular switch response factors.
Two experiments are presented that compare the residual cost found when switching from one task to another under predictable conditions. The aim of the study was to explore the roles played by the stimulus, the response, or both in the process of the mental set reconfiguration necessary to switch between two tasks. The experiments tested [Rogers, R. D., & Monsell, S. (1995). Cost of a predictab...
متن کاملComponent Processes Of Memory: Changes Across The Adult Lifespan
What abilities or skills need to be recruited for free recall of a list of words, to what extent do they influence performance, and does their influence remain constant across the lifespan? These and related questions were addressed in an investigation with 163 community dwelling healthy adults. In a session that lasted about 2.5 hours, each participant received a battery of tests, including th...
متن کاملA System Dynamics Approach to Healthcare Cost Control
Abstract The purpose of this article is to present a system dynamics (SD) model for studying the interconnections among human being weight, eating habit, exercise, body fat, take-in medication, drugs-uses, and the health problems in general. Due to the fact that all of these factors have direct and indirect impacts on the expenses that insurance company have to pay this author is proposing a ...
