The time course of the asymmetrical “local” switch cost: Evidence from event-related potentials

▶ Transition type (switch versus repeat) influences both cue and target processing. ▶ Task rule (color versus form) influences both cue and target processing. ▶ Asymmetrical local switch cost originates during target but not cue processing. ▶ Asymmetrical local switch cost explained by attentional effects.
