How Task Set and Task Switching Modulate Perceptual Processes: Is Recognition of Facial Emotion an Exception? Open

Heike Elchlepp, Stephen Monsell, Aureliu Lavric · 2021

In Part 1 we review task-switching and other studies showing that, even with time for preparation, participants' ability to shift attention to a relevant attribute or object before the stimulus onset is limited: there is a 'residual cost'.…

PEP Does Not Dispense with but Implements Task-Set Reconfiguration. Can It Handle Phenomena More Diagnostic of Endogenous Control? Open

Stephen Monsell, Ian P. L. McLaren · 2020

Invited commentary on Schmidt, Liefooghe, and De Houwer (2020) An episodic model of task switching effects: erasing the homunculus from memory. Journal of Cognition.

Can we prepare to attend to one of two simultaneous voices? (dataset) Open

Stephen Monsell, Aureliu Lavric, Amy Strivens, Elizabeth S. Paul · 2019

This is the dataset used for the Monsell et al. (2019) article "Can prepare to attend to one of two simultaneous voices?" published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.

ERP and Eye-tracking Open

Is preparing for a language switch like preparing for a task switch? Open

Aureliu Lavric, Amanda Clapp, Antonia East, Heike Elchlepp, Stephen Monsell · 2018

A key index of top-down control in task switching-preparation for a switch-is underexplored in language switching. The well-documented EEG "signature" of preparation for a task switch-a protracted positive-polarity modulation over the post…

Mackintosh lecture—: Association and cognition: Two processes, one system Open

IPL McLaren, Amy McAndrew, Katharina Angerer, Rossy McLaren, Charlotte Forrest , et al. · 2018

This article argues that the dual-process position can be a useful first approximation when studying human mental life, but it cannot be the whole truth. Instead, we argue that cognition is built on association, in that associative process…

Self-paced preparation for a task switch eliminates attentional inertia but not the performance switch cost. Open

Cai S. Longman, Aureliu Lavric, Stephen Monsell · 2016

The performance overhead associated with changing tasks (the "switch cost") usually diminishes when the task is specified in advance but is rarely eliminated by preparation. A popular account of the "residual" (asymptotic) switch cost is t…

Shifting attention between visual dimensions as a source of the task switch cost (dataset) Open

The coupling between spatial attention and other components of task-set: A task-switching investigation Open

Cai S. Longman, Aureliu Lavric, Stephen Monsell · 2016

Is spatial attention reconfigured independently of, or in tandem with, other task-set components when the task changes? We tracked the eyes of participants cued to perform one of three digit-classification tasks, each consistently associat…

A change of task prolongs early processes: Evidence from ERPs in lexical tasks. Open

Heike Elchlepp, Aureliu Lavric, Stephen Monsell · 2015

Switching tasks costs time. Allowing time to prepare reduces the cost, but usually leaves an irreducible "residual cost." Most accounts of this residual cost locate it within the response-selection stage of processing. To determine which p…
