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 …

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 …

Four task-switching experiments examined the notion of an exogenous component of task-
set reconfiguration (ie, a process needed to shift task set that is not initiated in the absence …

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 …

Some researchers argue that task switching involves task-set reconfiguration-that is,
changing the existing task set to perform a different task. Although this idea is intriguing, it is …

In four experiments, task-switching processes were investigated with variants of the
alternating runs paradigm and the explicit cueing paradigm. The classical diffusion model for …

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 …

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 …

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 …
