Cognitive control

Darryl Schneider’s work addresses cognitive control focusing on task switching. His research seeks to understand cognitive control in terms of basic psychological processes. His models interpret task switching as a memory retrieval problem. Schneider implements the retrieval process as a random walk and shows how it can account for switch costs, reductions in switch costs as cue-to-target interval increases, and a variety of congruency effects. He is currently working on a theory that puts it all together.
