Article Synopsis
- Synaesthesia is a condition where one sensory input, like sound, leads to the automatic experience of another sensory perception, such as seeing colors.
- In the past, scientists were skeptical about studying synaesthesia due to its subjective nature, leading to it being overlooked in research.
- Recent advancements over the last twenty years have allowed for synaesthesia to be recognized as a legitimate scientific phenomenon, prompting thorough investigation into its cognitive, behavioral, neurological, genetic, and demographic aspects.
Two experiments are presented that compare the residual cost found when switching from one task to another under predictable conditions. The aim of the study was to explore the roles played by the stimulus, the response, or both in the process of the mental set reconfiguration necessary to switch between two tasks. The experiments tested [Rogers, R.

Three experiments are presented that compare the residual cost found when shifting from one task to another under different extra-response conditions, to test whether the response is the main factor to complete mental set reconfiguration. We investigated whether residual costs can be eliminated if participants carry out a response prior to completing switch trials. In all experiments, participants were required to press an extra key during the inter-trial interval (ITI) to proceed.
