When participants have to shift between four tasks that result from a factorial combination of
the task dimensions judgment (numerical vs. spatial) and mapping (compatible vs …

When participants are asked to shift between four dimensionally organized tasks which differ
in the type of judgment (numerical vs. spatial) and/or the judgment-to-response mapping …

Abstract Recently, we [Kleinsorge & Heuer (1999) Psychological Research, 62, 300–312]
introduced the notion of generalizing switching operations to account for a characteristic …

Task switching research has revealed that task changes lead to a performance switch cost.
The present study focuses on the organization of task components in the task set. Three …

We explored shift costs for a dimensionally organized set of tasks. Task dimensions were
type of judgement (numerical vs. spatial) and judgement-to-response mapping (compatible …

A number of recent studies have shown that shifting among four tasks that result from a
factorial combination of two types of judgment with two judgment-to-response mappings …

Most theorizing on the origin of the costs that are associated with task shifts focuses on local
transitions between individual trials. In the present article we argue that this emphasis has …

Recent research on task switching has paid little attention to how tasks are represented and
how the relations between task representations might affect the executive processes …

Conflict during response selection in task switching is indicated by the response congruency
effect: worse performance for incongruent targets (requiring different responses across …

Inhibition during task switching is assumed to be indexed by n–2 repetition costs—that is,
performance costs when the task in the current trial equals the task in trial n–2 (sequences of …
