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 purpose of this paper was to provide insight into the nature of response selection by
reviewing the literature on stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) effects and the …

Understanding of the factors that influence stimulus-response (SR) compatibility and
determine when and how compatibility effects will arise is a necessary foundation for …

Why is the human brain fundamentally limited when attempting to execute two tasks at the
same time or in close succession? Two classical paradigms, psychological refractory period …

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 …

Improvements in performing demanding and complex task situations are typically related to
the optimization of executive functions and efficient behavioral control. The present study …

Within the context of the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, we developed a
general theoretical framework for deciding when it is more efficient to process two tasks in …

Reaction time task rule congruency effects (RT-TRCEs) reflect faster responses to stimuli for
which the competing task rules indicate the same correct response than to stimuli indicating …

This study examines whether an improved intertask coordination skill is acquired during
extensive dual-task training and whether it can be transferred to a new dual-task situation …

In 5 experiments, the authors investigated the costs associated with repeating the same or a
similar response in a dual-task setting. Using a psychological refractory period paradigm …
