Stimulates Priming Task Selection In Voluntary Task Switching

In this study, I used the paradigm of voluntary task switching and clue task switching, mainly used voluntary task switching. The objective of the present study is to explore the differences between the two processing manners, as well as the stimulates priming task selection in voluntary task switching.In the Experiment1, in order to study the Chinese stimulates task selection, we used the experiment design of2(experiment Paradigm:clue task-switch and voluntary task switch) x2(task preparative time:100ms and1000ms)×2(nature of the tasks:task duplication and task switch) three factors within-subject design. The subjects were college students and master students, with19effective subjects. In the Experiment2, use the voluntary task switching to study the Chinese stimulates on the task selection, the experiment design of2(task preparative time:100ms and1000ms)×2(nature of the tasks:task duplication and task switch)×2(match: match and not match) three factors within-subject design. The subjects were college students and master students, with21effective subjects. In the Experiment3in order to avoid the impact of possible semantics to digital stimulates to study its influence on the task selection, design of2(task preparative time:100ms and1000ms)×2(nature of the tasks:task duplication and task switch)×2(match:match and not match) three factors within-subject design. The subjects were college students and master students, with19effective subjects. The dependent variable indicators were reaction time and the match to the first and match to the recent situation during the voluntary task switching. The results suggested that:(Ⅰ) The reaction time of subjects under the condition of voluntary task switching is lower than their reaction time under the condition of clue-task switching. It show that the self-control of subjects arise their speed of cognitive process.(Ⅱ) Under the condition of clue-task switching, when the subjects have a longer preparative time they will have a lower reaction time. However under the conditions of voluntary task switching, when the subjects have a shorter preparative time they will have a lower reaction time. It shows that subjects have a shorter preparative time under the conditions of voluntary task switch.(Ⅲ) The subjects tended to choose the first or the recent reaction when the stimulate come again, instead of according to the instruction requirement. That is, In the expertimental background, stimulates priming maybe through the memory mechanism.
