The concept of inhibition plays a major role in cognitive psychology. In the present article,
we review the evidence for the inhibition of task sets. In the first part, we critically discuss …

Bilinguals spontaneously switch languages in conversation even though laboratory studies
reveal robust cued language switching costs. The authors investigated how voluntary …

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 …

We provide a psychometric analysis of commonly used performance indices of the d2
sustained-attention test, and give methodical guidelines and recommendations, based on …

This chapter reviews the historical and current literature on task switching, focusing primarily
on cognitive-behavioral studies on healthy human subjects. It outlines what I see to be …

Three experiments examined the difficulty of translating cues into verbal representations of
task goals by varying the degree of cue transparency (auditory transparent cues, visual …

It has been suggested that performance in the Stroop task is influenced by response conflict
as well as task conflict. The present study investigated the idea that both conflict types can …

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 …

The idea that conflict detection triggers control adjustments has been considered a basic
principle of cognitive control. So far, this “conflict-control loop” has mainly been investigated …
