p < .05 for the contrast using the error term for the main effect of transition from the relevant ANOVA (For Altmann’s data, we indicate the results of his statistical analyses.)

p < .05 for the omnibus transition × CTI interaction (involving all CTIs) from the relevant ANOVA involving only the transitions of interest

Note. N = number of subjects with data for each mapping. Task-switching effect = difference between task switches and task repetitions. Cue-switching effect = difference between task repetitions and cue repetitions. Values are in milliseconds.
