Task 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...
متن کاملThe Effect of Task Repetition and Task Recycling on EFL Learners' Oral Performance
One of the major criticisms leveled at task-based language teaching (TBLT), despite its countless merits, is developing fluency at the cost of accuracy. The post-task stage affords a number of options to counteract this downside through task repetition and task recycling. These two options are considered to positively affect learners' oral performance in terms of fluency, accuracy, and complexi...
متن کاملTask switching in a hierarchical task structure: evidence for the fragility of the task repetition benefit.
This study examined how task switching is affected by hierarchical task organization. Traditional task-switching studies, which use a constant temporal and spatial distance between each task element (defined as a stimulus requiring a response), promote a flat task structure. Using this approach, Experiment 1 revealed a large switch cost of 238 ms. In Experiments 2-5, adjacent task elements were...
متن کاملTask Dominance Determines Backward Inhibition in Task Switching
Switching between tasks is assumed to be accompanied by inhibiting currently irrelevant, but competing tasks. A dominant task that strongly interferes with performing a weaker task may receive especially strong inhibition. We tested this prediction by letting participants switch among three tasks that differ in dominance: a location discrimination task with strong stimulus-response bindings (re...
متن کاملThe relationship between task repetition and language proficiency
Task repetition is now considered as an important task-based implementation variable which can affect complexity, accuracy, and fluency of L2 speech. However, in order to move towards theorizing the role of task repetition in second language acquisition, it is necessary that individual variables be taken into account. The present study aimed to investigate the way task r...
