| description | Two experiments investigated the way that beforehand preparation
influences general task execution in reaction-time matching tasks.
Response times (RTs) and error rates were measured for switching and
nonswitching conditions in a color- and shape-matching task. The
task blocks could repeat (task repetition) or alternate (task
switch), and the preparation interval (PI) was manipulated
within-subjects (Experiment 1) and between-subjects
(Experiment 2). The study illustrated a comparable general task
performance after a
long
PI for both experiments, within and
between PI manipulations. After a
short
PI, however, the
general task performance increased significantly for the
between-subjects manipulation of the PI. Furthermore, both experiments
demonstrated an analogous preparation effect for both task switching and task
repetitions. Next, a consistent switch cost throughout the whole run of trials
and a within-run slowing effect were observed in both experiments.
Altogether, the present study implies that the effects of the advance
preparation go beyond the first trials and confirms different points of the
activation approach (

Response times (RTs) and error rates were measured for switching and
nonswitching conditions in a color- and shape-matching task. The
task blocks could repeat (task repetition) or alternate (task
switch), and the preparation interval (PI) was manipulated
within-subjects (Experiment 1) and between-subjects

performance after a

between PI manipulations. After a

general task performance increased significantly for the
between-subjects manipulation of the PI. Furthermore, both experiments
demonstrated an analogous preparation effect for both task switching and task
repetitions. Next, a consistent switch cost throughout the whole run of trials
and a within-run slowing effect were observed in both experiments.
Altogether, the present study implies that the effects of the advance
