Human action control relies on representations that integrate perception and action, but the
relevant research is scattered over various experimental paradigms and the theorizing is …

This chapter introduces basic concepts and methodologies in research on task-set control.
To this end, key concepts are defined (such as “task” and “task set,” which refers to the …

The article investigates the mechanisms of selecting and updating representations in
declarative and procedural working memory (WM). Declarative WM holds the objects of …

Abstract The Parallel Episodic Processing (PEP) model is a neural network for simulating
human performance in speeded response time tasks. It learns with an exemplar-based …

Task switching studies revealed that the usual response-repetition benefit is abolished and
often reversed if the task switches. According to episodic binding accounts, performing …

Frequent forced switching between tasks has been shown to reduce switch costs and
increase voluntary switch rates. So far, however, the boundary conditions of the influence of …

In cognitive control, we are interested in selection problems: how do participants chose their
next action? And how do they prevent other actions to be performed instead? To gain some …

Task switching is often considered for evaluating limitations of cognitive flexibility. Switch
costs are behavioural indices of limited cognitive flexibility, and switch costs may be …

Response repetitions aid performance when a task repeats but impair performance when a
task switches. Although this interaction is robust, theoretical accounts remain controversial …

What we have attended to in the past, as well as the stimulus context associated with past
motor responses, have a strong impact on our current behavior. These influences have been …
