Data: Double Task Switching: an investigation into the effects of similarity and task-rule congruency on cognitive flexibility in the context of mental fatigue

This is the data that was collected for the Double Task Switching Experiment (Hinss, Brock & Roy 2023). The File contains the behavioral as well as the subjective data of all participants.

Some details:
Switch
1= repetition trial
2= internal switch
3= external switch

Task
1= Low/High
2= Even/Odd
3= Vertical/Horizontal
4= Cold/Hot

Language (of instructions)
0= French
1= English

Congruency
1= Neutral
2= Internally incongruent
3= Externally incongruent
4= Double incongruent
5= Internally congruent
6= Externally congruent
7= Double congruent

Correct
1= Correct Response
0= Error

Hit
0= Correct response on letter S
1= Correct response on letter L

Response
0= Participants response on letter S
1= Participants response on letter L

EDI (Edinburgh Handedness questionnaire)

MaryB2: How many times did you wake up last night ?
MaryB3: How many hours did you sleep last night?
