Researchers have recognized the role that task representation plays in our behavior for many years. However, the specific influence that the structure of one's task representation has on executive functioning has only recently been investigated. Prior research suggests that adjustments of cognitive control are affected by subtle manipulations of aspects of the stimulus-response pairs within and across task sets. This work has focused on examples of cognitive control such as response preparation, dual-task performance, and the congruency sequence effect. The current study investigates the effect of task representation on another example of control, post-error slowing. To determine if factors that influence how people represent a task affect how behavior is adjusted after an error, an adaptive attention-shifting task was developed with multiple task delimiting features. Participants were randomly assigned to a separate task set (two task sets) or an integrated task set (one task set) group. For the separate set group, the task sets switched after each trial. Results showed that only the integrated set group exhibited post-error slowing. This suggests that task representation influences the boundaries of cognitive control adjustments and has implications for our understanding of how control is organized when adjusting to errors in performance.
