Open AccessImpact of aging on crossmodal attention switching
Previous studies on crossmodal visual-auditory attention switching using a spatial discrimination task showed performance costs when the target modality changed relative to when it repeated. The present study (n ...

Age-related post-error slowing and stimulus repetition effect in motor inhibition during a stop-signal task
This study aims to investigate how older adults react to a failed-inhibition error while performing a stop-signal task. That is, whether elderly people would exhibit enlarged post-error slowing and whether suc...

Open AccessFrontoparietal structural properties mediate adult life span differences in executive function
Executive function (EF) refers to a set of cognitive functions that support goal-directed behaviors. Recent findings have suggested that the frontoparietal network (FPN) subserves neural processes that are rel...

Open AccessThe Dissociable Effects of Induced Positive and Negative Moods on Cognitive Flexibility
This study investigates how different valences of induced moods modulate cognitive flexibility in a task-switching paradigm. Forty-eight participants aged 19–25 years performed task switching after watching em...

At will or not at will: Electrophysiological correlates of preparation for voluntary and instructed task-switching paradigms
The present study investigated whether the advanced reconfiguration processes of the voluntary switching (VTS) paradigm were different from those of the instructed task switching (ITS) paradigm by examining ev...

Competitor Rule Priming: Evidence for priming of task rules in task switching
In task-switching experiments, participants switch between task rules, and each task rule describes how responses are mapped to stimulus information. Importantly, task rules do not pertain to any specific resp...

When the voluntary mind meets the irresistible event: Stimulus–response correspondence effects on task selection during voluntary task switching
In the present study, we investigated how task selection is biased by inherent stimulus characteristics in the voluntary task-switching paradigm. We used digits as the task stimuli, since they may automaticall...

Parallel central processing between tasks: Evidence from lateralized readiness potentials
The present dual-task study used lateralized readiness potentials (LRPs) and behavioral measures to determine whether response activation for Task 1 and Task 2 can occur in parallel. We also examined whether t...
