We propose an in-depth examination of attention allocation in a time-based PM task by jointly analyzing multiple indicators of time-monitoring behavior, net and time-structured intraindividual variability (IIV) in ongoing-task reaction times (OT RTs), and task performance. Results from dynamic structural equation modeling in a lifespan sample of 198 adults (19-86 years) revealed that larger fluctuations in OT RTs (net IIV) predicted poorer OT performance, but fostered a more efficient pattern of time-monitoring behavior (i.e., checking a clock more frequently and strategically, and slowing OT RTs during the PM response window) that, in turn, enhanced PM. Conversely, greater inertia in OT RTs (time-structured IIV) led to fewer clock-checks and poorer PM performance. Focusing attention on time monitoring to enhance PM performance did not detrimentally affect OT accuracy. Instead, participants showed a speed-accuracy tradeoff to optimize both OT and PM accuracies by slowing their OT RTs during the PM response window. This study therefore shows that two concomitant aspects of IIV (net and time-structured IIV) not only predicted time-monitoring behavior, but also OT and PM accuracies differentially, hence advocating for the necessity to consider both aspects of IIV and time monitoring together to better understand attention allocation policies in time-based PM tasks.

While task sets are traditionally defined as mnemonic ensembles linking task goals to stimulus-response mappings, we here asked the question whether they may also entail information about task difficulty: does the level of focus required for performing a task become incorporated within the task set? We addressed this question by employing a cued task-switching protocol, wherein participants engaged in two intermixed tasks with trial-unique stimuli. Both tasks were equally challenging during a baseline and a transfer phase, while their difficulty was manipulated during an intermediate learning phase by varying the proportion of trials with congruent versus incongruent response mappings between the two tasks. Comparing congruency effects between the baseline and transfer phases, Experiment 1 showed that the task with a low (high) proportion of congruent trials in the learning phase displayed reduced (increased) cross-task interference effects in the transfer phase, indicating that the level of task focus required in the learning phase had become associated with each task set. Experiment 2 indicated that strengthening of task focus level in the task with a low proportion of congruent trials was the primary driver of this effect. Experiment 3 ruled out the possibility of cue-control associations mediating this effect. Taken together, our results show that task sets can become associated with the focus level required to successfully implement them, thus significantly expanding our concept of the type of information that makes up a task set.

This finding is noteworthy, because it runs counter to the principle that cognition is motivated to reduce uncertainty and hence surprise. Here we investigated whether this pattern of uncertainty-modulated attentional capture (UMAC) reflects a process of attention for learning, wherein uncertainty-related stimuli are prioritized in an attempt to learn about their true predictive status. To address this, we examined the distinct impact of two information sources that modulate potential for learning: explicit instruction versus ongoing experience of prediction error in reward feedback. Experiment 1 demonstrated that providing explicit instructions-and hence negating the need for further learning-did not reduce the magnitude of the UMAC effect, indicating that UMAC does not reflect attention for learning as a strategic approach for determining the task state. On the other hand, Experiment 2 showed that instructions alone were insufficient to generate a UMAC effect in the absence of reward feedback, suggesting that the impact of uncertainty on rapid attentional prioritization is driven by direct experience of prediction error. Taken together, these findings point to two possibilities: UMAC may reflect attention for learning operating at an implicit level or may evince an attentional system that is configured for rapid detection of sources of experienced uncertainty so that subsequent behavior can be tailored appropriately.

However, strategy use may also explain individual differences in WM. Here we explored individual variation in encoding strategy optimization in visual WM. Participants searched for a target that changed between two alternating displays that cycled until response. Critically, participants could freely choose between one red and one blue target, and the ratio of red to blue items varied randomly across trials. Therefore, the optimal strategy was to selectively encode items in the smaller color subset. Results showed a general tendency to choose the optimal (small subset) target, but there were large individual differences in strategy choice, with many participants using suboptimal strategies. While Experiment 1 found no relationship between ability and strategy, a larger sample replication in Experiment 5 found a small, positive correlation between WM ability and strategy optimization. Experiment 2 showed that strategy use was not stable over time. Many participants spontaneously shifted to highly optimal target choices, suggesting a sudden discovery of the optimal strategy. Experiment 3 confirmed the importance of explicit knowledge in strategy choice. Informing participants about the optimal strategy induced a large strategy improvement. Moreover, optimally performing participants demonstrated explicit awareness of the optimal strategy. Experiment 4 showed that, even under greater task demands, when participants viewed the displays only once, strategy use was still suboptimal. Our findings highlight strategy choice as an important source of individual variation and therefore should be considered alongside the ability to fully understand differences in WM.

However, previous experiments on speed-accuracy trade-offs in sample-based decisions revealed marked oversampling that was impervious to various interventions (Fiedler, McCaughey, et al., 2021). When faced with the threat of being preempted by a rival in making decisions, participants seem to reduce information search substantially (Phillips et al., 2014). Such a decrease provides unique opportunities for metareasoning, which should advance people's understanding of the task and improve their performance. To test this possibility, in the present research (<i>N</i> = 101), participants had to compete with a fast (computer-simulated) rival and indeed substantially reduced self-determined sample size compared to a control condition. This speed increase also carried over to a subsequent decision block without rival, albeit participants regressed to a slower strategy. Mere exposure to a teammate using small samples either in an equivalent competitive version of the task or the standard solitary version led to similar reductions in sample size. This demonstrates that competition is not a necessary requirement for participants to make use of the metareasoning opportunity to improve task performance. Further research is needed to uncover the metacognitive underpinnings of improving performance and facilitate people taking full advantage of such opportunities for metareasoning.

We replicated this engagement effect in a reanalysis of an independent, large data set from younger adults (<i>N</i> = 333). Based on these results, it is possible that when engagement is high, the memory representations associated with critical words may remain in the focus of attention when retrieval is being triggered, obviating a retrieval operation and eliminating the modification effect.

When performing dual tasks, mental representations of dual-task-specific control requirements and the task-pair set are established that help to manage dual-task processing (Hirsch et al., 2017, 2018; Hommel, 2004, 2020). In the present study, we investigated to which extent such higher order representations of dual-task processing persist even if major characteristics of the task context change, for example, if one of the tasks of a dual task becomes irrelevant. For this, we adapted the fade-out paradigm (Mayr & Liebscher, 2001) to a dual-task setting and tested whether fade-out costs appear. Performance of pure Task 1 single tasking was compared to the performance of Task 1 processing right after dual-task trials (fade-out phase). Results showed that performance in this fade-out block did not immediately drop to single-task performance (fade-out costs), indicating the persistence of task-pair set representations (Experiments 1 and 3, <i>N</i> = 40 each). In addition, automatic stimulus-response translation processes continued within the fade-out phase, resulting in ongoing between-task interference. Furthermore, the frequency of between-task interference in dual-task blocks was manipulated (75% vs. 25% incongruence) between participants to establish conflict-biased control states of increased versus relaxed task shielding. These different control states, however, did not modulate fade-out costs (Experiment 2, <i>N</i> = 80). Nevertheless, the persistence of these control adaptations was reflected in manipulation-dependent between-task interference during fade-out trials. Implications of this new evidence are discussed.

In two experiments, we compared people's behavior in a condition with mixed learning modes (i.e., one option described, the other experienced with the sampling paradigm) to that in conditions where both options were either described or experienced. Using cumulative prospect theory's value and probability weighting functions to characterize how observed outcome and probability information was subjectively distorted in people's choices, we found clear differences between the pure description and pure experience conditions. In the mixed-mode condition, however, the value and probability weighting functions did not differ between the described and the experienced options, suggesting that people evaluated them based on a joint representation despite the different learning modes.

Finally, per-option search effort for an experienced option tended to be higher in the mixed-mode condition than in the purely experience-based condition.
