Explain how task switching occurs using the information-processing model
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Each of the two tasks used in a task-switching experiment has its own set of rules (e.g., above or below 5). Thus the goals shift between trials. Goal shifting and rule activation make up the executive processes needed for task-switching tasks. These executive processes influence the task processes or stimulus identification, response selection, and movement production so that the proper response is selected and executed.
