The influence of bilingualism on statistical word learning: a registered report Open
While statistical word learning has been the focus of many studies on monolinguals, it has received little attention in bilinguals. The results of existing studies on statistical word learning in bilinguals are inconsistent, with some rese…
Adjustments of balance control during cognitive dual tasking: Evidence from event-related force-plate analysis Open
Cognitive-motor interference refers to the interaction between cognitive and motor processes occurring at the same time. Recently, balance control parameters while standing on a force plate were analysed using an event-related approach whi…
The influence of prediction on bilingual language production: evidence from semantic classifier congruency Open
This study aims to investigate if predictions can influence subsequent language production in monolingual and bilingual situations. The possibility to correctly predict an upcoming response was operationalized by means of semantic classifi…
Task-control adaptation in task switching: Uncovering the mechanisms behind the list-wide proportion valency effect Open
The term conflict adaptation refers to the up- or down-regulation of control processes depending on the likelihood and recency of conflict occurrence. While most research on conflict adaptation has examined single-task settings (e.g., the …
Within-language and cross-languages prediction: Evidence from semantic classifier congruency Open
Objectives: Previous studies showed prediction effects in language processing within a language. Yet only a few studies have specifically investigated prediction effects across languages. In this study, we examined if prediction influences…
Exploring the effects of mapping rule switching on motor preparation in young and older adults: evidence from combining response cuing and task switching methodology Open
This study explored the effect of mapping rule switching on motor preparation in young and older adults. Motor preparation was indexed by performance in the finger cuing task, which is a cued 4-choice reaction time (RT) task requiring a si…
How do multiple meanings affect word learning and remapping? Open
Many words have multiple meanings. It is currently unclear how a word with more than one meaning is acquired or stored long-term. One possibility is that each word’s meaning is less robustly encoded; this, in turn, may make it easier to ac…
The effects of cognitive-motor multitasking demands on the quality of chest compressions in CPR—A randomized controlled trial Open
Background In standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rescuers switch between ventilation and chest compressions. We examined the effect of this task-switching requirement on chest-compression quality to gain insights into the cognit…
Sequential adjustments of task-pair control in dual-task contexts: Examining the role of repetition priming effects at the level of task-pair sets and abstract control states Open
In dual-task situations, two stimuli are presented in rapid succession, requiring participants to perform two tasks simultaneously. Prior studies suggested that when two tasks are performed simultaneously, information about the identity of…
Quality Over Quantity: Focusing on High-Conflict Trials to Improve the Reliability and Validity of Attentional Control Measures Open
In conflict tasks, congruency effects are thought to reflect attentional control mechanisms needed to counteract response conflict elicited by incongruent stimuli. Although congruency effects are well-replicable experimentally, recent stud…
Quality over quantity: Focusing on high-conflict trials to improve the reliability and validity of attentional control measures. Open

Probing the properties of PTEN specific botulinum toxin type E mutants Open
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are established biopharmaceuticals for neuromuscular and secretory conditions based on their ability to block neurotransmitter release from neurons by proteolyzing specific soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fa…
Opportune moments for task interruptions: examining the cognitive mechanisms underlying interruption-timing effects Open
Introduction Several studies showed that task interruptions at high mental workload moments are more harmful than task interruptions at low mental workload moments. In the present study, we used a theory-driven approach to define the menta…
Advancing an account of hierarchical dual-task control: A focused review on abstract higher-level task representations in dual-task situations Open
Dual tasks are a common phenomenon in everyday life. In dual-task contexts, we perform two-component tasks in temporal overlap, which usually results in impaired performance in one or both of these component tasks relative to single-task c…
Age-related Electrophysical Correlates of Cross-modal Attention Switching Open
The human experience demands seamless attentional switches between sensory modalities. Aging raises questions about how declines in auditory and visual processing affect cross-modal attention switching. This study used a cued cross-modal a…
Inhibition of cued but not executed task sets depends on cue-task compatibility and practice Open
In task switching, processing a task cue is thought to activate the corresponding task representation (“task set”), thereby allowing for advance task preparation. However, the contribution of preparatory processes to the emergence of n−2 r…
What makes a cognate? Implications for research on bilingualism Open
Cognates are studied in many psychological studies of bilingual language processing. Despite their frequent use, there is no clear operationalized definition of what constitutes a cognate. We conducted a literature search in three major jo…
Exploring “phasic” vs. “tonic” accounts of the effect of switch probability on the auditory attention switch cost Open
Task-switching experiments have shown that the “switch cost” (poorer performance for task switches than for repetitions) is smaller when the probability of a switch is high (e.g., 0.75) than when it is low (e.g., 0.25). Some theoretical ac…

Consensus definitions of perception-action-integration in action control Open
The literature on action control is rife with differences in terminology. This consensus statement contributes shared definitions for perception-action integration concepts as informed by the framework of event coding.
