The present study was divided into two experiments using a continuous cue-matching task paradigm to separate cue change from task switching, to examine the effect of cue matching on task switching, and to examine whether prolonged CTI had an effect on pure switching costs. The experimental results showed that in the cue-matching condition, task switching was associated with longer reaction times and lower accuracy rates than task repetition, that is, the typical switching cost; in the cue-mismatch condition, the reaction time switching cost disappeared and the accuracy rate switching cost reversed. The disappearance and reversal of the conversion cost may stem from cognitive conflicts arising from inconsistent cue and task processing results, which suggests that individuals may combine cues and tasks in cue-task switching as a whole with hierarchical correlations.
Key words: cue-matching; task switching; switching cost
