Longman, Cai S.; Lavric, Aureliu; Monsell, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Switching tasks prolongs response times, an effect reduced but not eliminated by active preparation. To explore the role of attentional selection of the relevant stimulus attribute in these task-switch costs, we measured eye fixations in participants cued to identify either a face or a letter displayed on its forehead. With only 200 ms between cue…

van 't Wout, Félice; Lavric, Aureliu; Monsell, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Accounts of task-set control generally assume that the current task's stimulus-response (S-R) rules must be elevated to a privileged state of activation. How are they represented in this state? In 3 task-cuing experiments, we tested the hypothesis that phonological working memory is used to represent S-R rules for task-set control by getting…
