“…Among the few researchers who have investigated task-switching across different tasks, Hsieh and Wu (2011; see also Hsieh, Wu, & Lin, 2014) compared the electrophysiological correlates of advance preparation in task-switching between stimulus-dimensions vs. response-mappings. The authors reported both common and distinct modulations of cue-locked ERPs associated with the Task-switching and ERPs 7 two task-switching types, which suggests the presence of both shared and unique mechanisms underlying preparation to shift across different tasks.…”

“…Finally, it should be acknowledged that some researchers recently begun to combine into the same experiment single-shifts (i.e., a switch between stimulus dimensions: color or shape, or between response effectors: hand or foot) and dual-shifts (i.e., a concurrent switch of both stimulus dimensions and response effectors) in order to understand whether a dual-shift condition would be associated with similar or distinct anticipatory processes as compared to a single-shift condition (see Hsieh, Wu & Lin, 2014;Tieges et al, 2007;Langley, 2009, for ERP studies, andHübner et al, 2001;, for behavioural evidence). The main advantage of using this kind of design is that it allows researchers to parametrically manipulate the "task shift load" (i.e., single vs. dual-shift conditions; cf.…”

“…Switch costs can be influenced by factors related to task sequence such as predictability (De Baene & Brass, 2014; Koch, 2005), intertrial interval (Altmann, 2019; Kiesel et al., 2010; Meiran et al., 2000), response modality (Hsieh et al., 2014; Philipp et al., 2013; Yeung & Monsell, 2003), response competition (Schuch & Koch, 2003; Wylie et al., 2004), the ratio of repeat to switch (De Baene & Brass, 2013, 2014; Frober & Dreisbach, 2017; Frober et al., 2018; Grzyb & Hubner, 2012; Monsell & Mizon, 2006; Rogers & Monsell, 1995; Schuch & Koch, 2010). For the probability of task switching, studies have shown that switch costs decreased in the frequent switch block compared with the infrequent switch block (Crump & Logan, 2010; De Baene & Brass, 2013, 2014; Dreisbach & Haider, 2006; Frober & Dreisbach, 2017; Frober et al., 2018; Leboe et al., 2008; Nessler et al., 2012; Schneider, 2016).…”

“…Basing on previous ERP studies on conflict monitor and task switching, the following predictions were made. First, the response variation (i.e., effector switching) and the related conflict information would trigger the increase in cognitive control under the frequent‐change context (Hsieh et al., 2014; West et al., 2009; Xie et al., 2020). This would be associated with the changing N2 amplitudes.…”

Previous studies have shown that the probability of task switching can vary the level of cognitive control and modulate the size of switch costs. However, it is unclear whether switch costs would be affected by a task‐repetition context formed by varying the degree of response (and task‐relevant stimulus property) change within the task repetition sequences while the probability of task switching remains constant. In the present study, participants were presented with a string of digits (e.g., ②②②). Basing on stimulus color, they were required to indicate either the presented digit, or the number of presented digits. Before task switching, stimulus and response in consecutive task‐repeat trials varied more or less frequently. Behavioral results showed that the frequent‐change context elicited smaller switch costs than the rare‐change context. Event‐related potential (ERP) results indicated that: (1) the frequent‐change context evoked greater fronto‐central N2 amplitudes for both task‐repeat and task‐switch trials, implying that cognitive control increased due to the variation of stimulus and response associations; (2) for the task switch trials, smaller P300 amplitudes were evoked in the frequent‐change context than the rare‐change context, reflecting the promoted task‐set reconfiguration. These findings suggest that, the more change in stimulus and response during task repetition, the higher the overall level of cognitive control and the higher efficiency of task‐switching.

“…Other ERP studies have compared switching between stimulus-set and response-set dimensions ( Rushworth et al, 2002 , 2005 ; Hsieh and Wu, 2011 ), between single-shifts and dual-shifts ( Tieges et al, 2007 ; West et al, 2009 ; Hsieh et al, 2014 ), and between the modality (visual vs. auditory) of the stimulus ( Kieffaber and Hetrick, 2005 ). Collectively these studies provide mixed evidence on the domain-general nature of task-switching.…”

The ability to flexibly switch between tasks is a hallmark of cognitive control. Despite previous studies that have investigated whether different task-switching types would be mediated by distinct or overlapping neural mechanisms, no definitive consensus has been reached on this question yet. Here, we aimed at directly addressing this issue by recording the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by two types of task-switching occurring in the context of spatial and verbal cognitive domains. Source analysis was also applied to the ERP data in order to track the spatial dynamics of brain activity underlying task-switching abilities. In separate blocks of trials, participants had to perform either spatial or verbal switching tasks both of which employed the same type of stimuli. The ERP analysis, which was carried out through a channel- and time-uninformed mass univariate approach, showed no significant differences between the spatial and verbal domains in the modulation of switch and repeat trials. Specifically, relative to repeat trials, switch trials in both domains were associated with a first larger positivity developing over left parieto-occipital electrodes and with a subsequent larger negativity distributed over mid-left fronto-central sites. The source analysis reconstruction for the two ERP components complemented these findings by highlighting the involvement of left-lateralized prefrontal areas in task-switching. Overall, our results join and extend recent research confirming the existence of left-lateralized domain-general task-switching processes.
