AB  - Previous studies have investigated sequence effect on task switching and found 
      that increased cognitive control in preceding trials would transfer to the 
      current trial. However, it remains unclear whether response variations during 
      task repetition can enhance cognitive control and promote task switching. In the 
      present study, we designed two sequence contexts, the response-change (r-change) 
      and response-repeat (r-repeat) contexts, by adopting a classical task-switching 
      paradigm in which participants were asked to make an odd-even or large-small 
      judgment of the presented digit. The only difference between the two sequence 
      contexts was whether responses varied frequently during task repetition. 
      Behavioral results showed that the r-change context induced smaller switch costs 
      and higher accuracy for task switching than the r-repeat context. Event-related 
      potential (ERP) results revealed (1) the effect of context on N2 amplitudes, with 
      greater N2 in the r-change context than the r-repeat context at frontal-central 
      regions; (2) the interaction between context and transition type during the 
      stimulus-locked P3 component, with a marked context effect for the task-switch 
      trials; (3) non-significant context effect on task switching during the 
      response-locked P3 component. These findings suggest that response variations 
      during a sequence of task-repeat trials can trigger the increase in cognitive 
      control that promotes the efficiency of followed task switching.
