      effects.

AB  - Recent context-control learning studies have shown that switch costs are reduced 
      in a particular context predicting a high probability of switching as compared to 
      another context predicting a low probability of switching. These context-specific 
      switch probability effects suggest that control of task sets, through experience, 
      can become associated with a particular context cue and be retrieved subsequently 
      to modulate task-switching efficiency. However, advanced task foreknowledge, 
      mediated by top-down retrieval of a specific task set, also modulates switch 
      costs, as shown in the task-switching literature. Here, we examined how the 
      retrieval of task sets interacts with the retrieval of task control. In 
      Experiments 1 and 2, we provided the task foreknowledge midway through the 
      experiment and examined how it might alter the item-specific switch probability 
      (ISSP) effect and the list-wide switch probability effect (LWSP). Both ISSP and 
      LWSP effects were replicated with no task foreknowledge, demonstrating 
      modulations of switch costs due to context-control learning. These modulations, 
      however, were swallowed once task foreknowledge became available, likely due to 
      the certainty of task foreknowledge overpowering learned probabilistic 
      information. Experiment 3 provided task foreknowledge throughout and compared how 
      it affects the list- versus the item-based control learning. In this case, we 
      detected the LWSP but not the ISSP effect. Experiment 3's findings suggest that, 
      with task foreknowledge, list-based context-control learning does modulate switch 
      costs-likely because the switch probability associations are retrieved 
      proactively. Together, these data suggest that task-switching performance 
      benefits from multiple paths to retrieve information in memory, best if done 
      proactively. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
