- Distractor-relevance determines whether task-switching enhances or impairs distractor memory, Chiu & Egner (2016). Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. Outcome recorded: mixed.
While we replicated switch-enhanced distractor memory in the intermittently irrelevant distractor condition, this effect was reversed in the always-irrelevant distractor condition. These results speak against the open-gate account, and instead indicate that switch-enhanced distractor memory arises from task-set inertia, and will not be observed for truly task-irrelevant stimuli presented during switching.
