Executive Functions (2012, unknown): “…2), hence the difference in their speed on mixed blocks versus single-task blocks is much greater than that of young adults, but unlike young adults they are almost as slow on repeat trials in a mixed block as on switch trials (Kray & Lindenberger 2000, Mayr & Liebscher 2001, Meiran & Gotler 2001).”
Inner speech as a retrieval aid for task goals: the effects of cue type and articulatory suppression in the random task cuing paradigm. (2004, methodology): “…been observed for the latter type of switch cost (Kray & Lindenberger, 2000; Mayr, 2001; Meiran & Gotler, 2001), but not for the former type (Kray & Lindenberger, 2000; Mayr & Liebscher, 2001; Salthouse, Fristoe, McGuthry, & Hambrick, 1998; see Kray, Li, & Lindenberger, 2002, for an exception).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “…between individuals—development and aging over the lifespan—the typical finding is that younger adults have smaller mixing costs than children or older adults do, whereas the age groups do not differ markedly on local switch cost (Reimers & Maylor, 2005; for review, see Mayr & Liebscher, 2001).”
