Zusammenfassung: | In the present study, cued
task-switching was combined with the stop-signal paradigm in
order to investigate the interaction between response inhibition and
task-switching. In line with earlier findings from
Schuch and Koch (2003
), the
results show that switch and repetition trials following inhibited responses
were processed equally fast. This confirms the hypothesis of
Schuch and Koch (2003
) that
after signal-inhibit trials there is less interference, resulting in a
disappearance of the switch cost. Furthermore, stopping performance was not
affected by task-switching. The estimated stop-signal latencies
were similar for switch and repetition trials, while the stop-signal
delays were longer for switch compared to repetition trials. This result
suggests that response inhibition and the inhibition processes in cued
task-switching are not relying upon a common mechanism. |
