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 …

When two tasks are presented simultaneously or in close succession, such as in the
overlapping task paradigm of the psychological refractory period, dual-task performance on …

One thing that separates human beings from the rest of the animal world is our ability to
control behavior by referencing internal plans, goals, and rules. This ability, which is crucial …

Control by action representation and input selection (CARIS) is a modeling framework for
task-switching experiments, which considers action-related effects as critical constraints. It …

Dual-task (DT) situations require task-order coordination processes that schedule the
processing of two temporally overlapping tasks. Theories on task-order coordination suggest …

In the present study, we combined the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm with
a novel task-pair switching logic which enabled us to isolate performance costs occurring at …

Dual tasks (DTs) are characterized by the requirement for additional mechanisms that
coordinate the processing order of two temporally overlapping tasks. These mechanisms are …

Dual-tasks (DT) require the employment of task-order representations that schedule the
processing of 2 tasks. Evidence for this assumption stems from the observation that in DTs …

When the performance of two tasks overlaps in time, performance impairments in one or
both tasks are common. Various theoretical explanations for how component tasks are …

In three experiments, the authors supported the hypothesis that parallel response activation
seen in dual-task performance results from holding Task 2 rules in working memory (WM) …
