Data from: Contextual clarity during training hinders learning transfer but spares task-switching

We examined the effect of contextual clarity on task switching and learning transfer with a visual search task. Participants searched a four-by-four grid for a target by clicking with a cursor. During acquisition, coloured borders indicated task context (Task A or B). The target could be in one of four location in each task, with no overlap between tasks. Participants then trained on the two tasks without coloured borders, with either high or low contextual clarity (rare or frequent switches between tasks). At test, coloured borders were reintroduced. Participants searched for targets while quickly switching between Task A and B (task-switching test), or while discovering the target locations for two new coloured borders (learning transfer test). The repository holds cursor movement and click data for 200 participants (n=100 per experiment). Preprocessing code is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16760165. Data for preprocessing are in data-sandpit. Note that you will need to remove /beh ("behavioural") from the preprocessing paths and direct them toward your data and analysis code locations before running the preprocessing scripts. Analysis code is available at https://garner-code.github.io/context-clarity_produce-results/. Data relevant to these analyses are in data-wrangled.
