In an investigation of task-set reconfiguration, participants switched between 2 tasks on
every 2nd trial in 5 experiments and on every 4th trial in a final experiment. The tasks were …

Reaction time is typically longer on trials on which the task changes. This switch cost is
reduced by the opportunity to prepare for the change before the stimulus onset, but there …

Switching between different tasks often increases response time compared to repeated
performance of a task. This switch cost has been thought to reflect either an executive …

Most studies of task-set switching rely on cuing paradigms, in which external cues indicate
the upcoming task. The present study used an entirely predictable task sequence in a …

Switching between two tasks afforded by the same stimuli results in slower reactions and
more errors on the first stimulus after the task changes. This “switch cost” is reduced, but not …

Participants switched frequently between high/low and odd/even classification of a digit. The
interval between a task cue and the next digit varied between blocks. In Experiment 1, the …

Task-switching studies show no behavioral benefit of partially informative cues. However,
ERP evidence of an early cue-locked positivity elicited by both fully and partially informative …

ABSTRACT A tentative model of task switching was tested in two experiments. The model
accounts for the switching costs observed in previous experiments by attributing them to …

Three experiments are presented that compare the cost found when switching from one task
to another in two different conditions. In one of them, the tasks switch in predictable …

In 6 task-cuing experiments, with 2 cues per task, the authors varied cue–stimulus interval to
investigate GD Logan and C. Bundesen's (2003) claim that when cue repetition is controlled …
