The task-switching paradigm is being increasingly used as a tool for studying cognitive
control and task coordination. Different procedural variations have been developed. They …

The task-switching paradigm offers enormous possibilities to study cognitive control as well
as task interference. The current review provides an overview of recent research on both …

Switch costs occur whenever participants are asked to switch between two or more task sets.
In a typical task switching experiment, participants have to switch between two task sets …

A model of cognitive control in task switching is developed in which controlled performance
depends on the system maintaining access to a code in episodic memory representing the …

It is widely assumed that supervisory or attentional control plays a role only in the
preparatory reconfiguration of the mental system in task shifting. The well-known fact that …

Residual switch costs are performance costs associated with a shift of task that persist even
when there is ample time to prepare in advance for the new task. I present a mixture-model …

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 …

Research on task switching and dual-task performance has spawned two literatures that
have, to a surprising extent, developed independently. This tutorial reviews the principal …

This article describes a quantitative model, which suggests what the underlying mechanisms
of cognitive control in a particular task-switching paradigm are, with relevance to task …

Everyday life requires frequent shifts between cognitive tasks. Research reviewed in this
article probes the control processes that reconfigure mental resources for a change of task …
