Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Sequential effects in response time (RT) tasks show similarities across different experimental paradigms. Some cognitive processes underlying these RT sequential effects are shared, while others are paradigm-specific.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Experimental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Response time (RT) in cognitive tasks is influenced by preceding trial characteristics.
  • Sequential effects are typically studied within single paradigms, limiting cross-paradigm comparisons.
  • Theoretical accounts of sequential effects show cross-paradigm similarities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically compare sequential effects across different cognitive paradigms.
  • To investigate shared and paradigm-specific cognitive processes underlying sequential effects.
  • To determine relationships between sequential effects in visual search, two-choice RT, interference, and task-switching.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an experiment comparing sequential effects across visual search, two-choice RT, interference, and task-switching paradigms.
  • Employed methods to maximize stimulus and response similarity across paradigms.
  • Analyzed RT distributions using descriptive (ex-Gaussian) and process-oriented (diffusion models) methods.

Main Results:

  • Observed significant empirical similarities and differences in sequential effects across paradigms.
  • Found variations in sequential effects within single paradigms across different conditions.
  • Identified varying degrees of similarity between sequential effects for different paradigm pairs.

Conclusions:

  • Some cognitive processes driving sequential effects are shared across paradigms.
  • Other cognitive processes underlying sequential effects appear to be paradigm-specific.
  • This suggests a complex interplay of general and specific mechanisms in sequential processing.
