Research Abstract

Task switching effects were investigated as a cognitive control with a number-selection task. Comparing older adults with younger adults, experiments in the morning with in the afternoon, and Japanese speakers with English speakers, we found two kinds of new phenomena: one is differences of task switching effects by English speakers from by Japanese speakers, and the other is task switching benefits shown by younger adults with very difficult cases, which were disappeared with ageing.
