The study used drift diffusion models to investigate the contributions of reconfiguration and task set inertia to performance in voluntary task switching. It was found that different interval lengths influenced preparation time and the task switching process in both single and dual task paradigms, with the effects of cue timing depending on the required response to the cue.
Most theories describing the cognitive processes underlying task switching allow for contributions of active task set reconfiguration and task set inertia. Manipulations of the Cue-to-Stimulus-Interval (CSI) are generally thought to influence task set reconfiguration, while Response-to-Cue (RCI) manipulations are thought to influence task set inertia. Together, these intervals compose the Response-to-Stimulus (RSI) interval. However, these theories do not adequately account for voluntary task switching, because a participant can theoretically prepare for an upcoming trial at any point. We used drift diffusion models to examine the contributions of reconfiguration and task set inertia to performance in single-and double-registrant-registrant voluntary task switching. In both paradigms, RSI length moderated nondecision time, suggesting both switch-specific and general preparation prior to cue presentation. In only the double-registrant registrant paradigm, RSI length additionally moderated task set inertia and CSI length affected general (but not switch-specific) preparation. The effects of cue timing (CSI length) depended upon required response to the cue. Future work should attempt to corroborate our findings regarding switch-specific and general preparation effects of interval lengths using EEG.
