Hierarchical control of cognitive processes: switching tasks in sequences.
Hierarchical control of cognitive processes was studied by examining the relationship between sequence- and task-level processing in the performance of explicit, memorized task sequences. In 4 experiments, switch costs in task-switching performance were perturbed by sequence initiation times that varied with sequence complexity, preparation time, and type of sequence transition (repetition or s...
متن کاملExecutive control of cognitive processes in task switching.
In 4 experiments, participants alternated between different tasks or performed the same task repeatedly. The tasks for 2 of the experiments required responding to geometric objects in terms of alternative classification rules, and the tasks for the other 2 experiments required solving arithmetic problems in terms of alternative numerical operations. Performance was measured as a function of whe...
متن کاملHierarchical Control of Cognitive Processes: The Case for Skilled Typewriting
The idea that cognition is controlled hierarchically is appealing to many but is difficult to demonstrate empirically. Often, nonhierarchical theories can account for the data as well as hierarchical ones do. The purpose of this chapter is to document the case for hierarchical control in skilled typing and present it as an example of a strategy for demonstrating hierarchical control in other co...
متن کاملControl of Cognitive Processes
We define the problem addressed at the eighteenth Attention and Performancesymposium as that of explaining how voluntary control is exerted over the organizationand activation of cognitive processes in accordance with current goals, without appealingto an all-powerful but ill-defined “executive” or controlling “homunculus.” We providebackground to the issues and approaches repre...
متن کاملAge-related differences in switching between cognitive tasks: does internal control ability decline with age?
The present study tested the hypothesis that older adults establish a weaker task set than younger adults and therefore rely more on stimulus-triggered activation of task sets. This hypothesis predicts that older adults should have difficulty with task switches, especially when the stimuli-responses are associated with multiple, competing tasks. Weak task preparation, however, could actually be...
