Task-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 کاملChunking 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 کاملExploring task-set reconfiguration with random task sequences.
Switching between two different tasks normally results in an impairment in people's performance known as a switch cost, typically measured as an increase in reaction time (RT) and errors compared to a situation in which no task switch is required. Researchers in task switching have suggested that this switch cost is the behavioural manifestation of the task set reconfiguration processes that ar...
متن کاملDissociating Task-set Selection from Task-set Inhibition in the Prefrontal Cortex
Patients with focal lesions in the left (n=7) and right (n=4) prefrontal cortex were compared with controls (n=16) in a task-switching experiment using four different, simple spatial tasks. Each of these tasks involved a left-right decision, either regarding an arrow, the word "left" or "right," a circle position, or the direction of a moving line. We compared performance on trials that require...
متن کاملInhibition of task set: Converging evidence
domains depends critically on the performer’s ability to select and perform the proper task while ignoring other potential tasks. One popular approach to studying this ability, called cognitive control, is to have people repeat or switch tasks. In this paradigm, performance is typically slower following a task switch than following a task repetition (the switch cost; see, e.g., Allport, Styles,...
