Sequential task predictability in task switching.
Many studies of task switching have found that a prolonged preparation time reduces switch costs. An alternative manipulation of task preparation is based on sequential task predictability, rather than preparation time. In Experiments 1 and 2 of the present study, participants performed explicitly instructed task sequences (i.e., AABB) and were then transferred to a random sequence. The observe...
متن کاملTask switching versus cue switching: using transition cuing to disentangle sequential effects in task-switching performance.
Recent methodological advances have allowed researchers to address confounds in the measurement of task-switch costs in task-switching performance by dissociating cue switching from task switching. For example, in the transition-cuing procedure, which involves presenting cues for task transitions rather than for tasks, cue transitions (cue switches and cue repetitions) and task transitions (tas...
متن کاملSequential Modulation of Cue Use in the Task Switching Paradigm
In task switching studies, pre-cuing of the upcoming task improves performance, indicating preparatory activation of the upcoming task-set, and/or inhibition of the previous task-set. To further investigate cue-based task preparation, the authors presented both valid and invalid task cues in a task switching experiment involving three tasks. Consistent with previous findings, a validity effect ...
متن کاملImplicit task sets in task switching?
In 2 experiments, the authors compare stimulus-based versus task-rule-based task performance. Participants practiced 8 stimulus-response mappings either with or without knowledge about 2 underlying task sets. After practice, 2 transfer blocks with 8 new stimuli were presented. Results show that rule knowledge leads to significant switch and transfer costs, whereas without rule knowledge neither...
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...
