Task Shifting in Dual-Task Settings
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2002 When a participant is asked to perform two tasks in alternation, their mean reaction times were slower than when they performed the same tasks repeatedly. This “shift cost” has been hypothesized to reflect the time course of a single central executive that exerts control over thought and actions in task shifting.

The role of response selection for inhibition of task sets in task shifting. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2003 Response selection in task shifting was explored using a go/no-go methodology. The no-go signal occurred unpredictably with stimulus onset so that all trials required task preparation but only go trials required response selection. Experiment 1 showed that shift costs were absent after no-go trials, indicating that response processes are crucial for ...

Task shifting or shifting care practices? The impact of task shifting on patients’ experiences and health care arrangements in Swaziland [PDF]
BMC Health Services Research, 2017 In the quest to achieve early HIV treatment goals, national HIV treatment programmes dependent on international funding have been dramatically redesigned over the last 5 years. Bottlenecks in treatment provision are conceived of as health system problems to be addressed via structural and logistical fixes (routine HIV testing, point-of-care equipment ...

Automatic activation of task-related representations in task shifting [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2007 Stimulus displays consisting of a target and a distractor can produce task conflicts when target and distractor are associated with different tasks. The present study examined whether these stimulus-induced task conflicts are affected by priming the irrelevant task or by increasing the salience of the distractor.
