Data for: Set-Shifting and Place-Keeping as Separable Control Processes

We present data from three experiments using a sequential binary choice task that explore the relationship between two proposed cognitive control functions: set-shifting and place-keeping (i.e., keeping track of one’s place within a sequential task). The task involves switching from one stimulus-response mapping to another across trials, according to a predefined sequence and in the face of occasional brief interruptions. Response-stimulus interval, interruption length and interrupting task were varied. In each study, response time, sequential error type and interruption accuracy were recorded.本研究提供了三项基于序列二元选择任务的实验数据，旨在探究两种已被提出的认知控制功能——定势转换（set-shifting）与位置保持（place-keeping，即追踪个体在序列任务中的所处位置）——之间的关联。该任务要求被试依据预先设定的序列，在试次间从一种刺激-反应映射切换至另一种，同时需应对偶尔出现的短暂干扰。实验中操纵了反应-刺激间隔（response-stimulus interval）、干扰时长与干扰任务三个变量。每项实验均记录了反应时、序列错误类型与干扰正确率三项数据。
