Investigations into the neurophysiological underpinnings of control suggest that frontal theta
activity is increased with the need for control. However, these studies typically show this link …

A central aspect of cognitive control is the capacity to anticipatorily prepare for specific task
requirements prior to carrying out a task. To study the changes caused by task preparation …

Flexible control of behavior depends on the representation, maintenance, and updating of
context information in working memory, which is thought to rely on the prefrontal cortex …

This chapter discusses the task-cuing paradigm. The author provides a user-oriented review
of the cuing paradigm that appears to have become among the most widely used task …

A large body of behavioral studies has used variations of the task switching paradigm to
study cognitive control processes associated with rapidly, flexibly and efficiently shifting …

The ability to switch tasks flexibly plays a critical role in goal-directed behavior. The present
study tested the hypothesis that task switching is subject to higher-level “metacontrol” …

During task‐switching paradigms, both event‐related potentials and time‐frequency
analyses show switch and mixing effects at frontal and parietal sites. Switch and mixing …

Bivalent Response mappings or targets can be bivalent. In bivalent response mappings,
response effectors (eg, the left index finger) are mapped to a response for both tasks, for …

Event‐related potentials (ERPs) and total time–frequency power analyses have shown that
performance costs during task switching are related to differential preparation to switch tasks …

Typically, in task-switching contexts individuals are slower and less accurate when
repeating a task in mixed blocks compared to single-task blocks (mixing cost) and when …
