Enhancing task-demands disrupts learning but enhances transfer gains in short-term task-switching training

Content variability was previously suggested to promote stronger learning effects in cognitive training whereas less variability incurred transfer costs (Sabah et al. Psychological Research, 10.1007/s00426-018-1006-7 , 2018). Here, we expanded these findings by additionally examining the role of learners’ control in short-term task-switching training by comparing voluntary task-switching to a yoked control forced task-switching condition.
