In the present study, we introduce a novel, self-organized task-switching paradigm that can
be used to study more directly the determinants of switching. Instead of instructing …

Findings from studies using the voluntary task switching (VTS) paradigm (Arrington & Logan,

Humans show a remarkable flexibility in responding to environmental stimuli under varying
conditions and goals. Changes in both the external environments and internal goals may …
