1 Introduction Responding to stimuli based on a task rule generally comes easily to humans. However, humans are often faced with environments with changing task rules, and the speed at which task rules change may differ, so we also need to learn how quickly we should decide to change tasks. In a more volatile environment, task rules change more frequently, requiring a higher learning rate to update task rules.

Research Articles, Behavioral/Cognitive Tanya Wen, John Duncan and Daniel J Mitchell Journal of Neuroscience 30 September 2020, 40 (40) 7724-7738; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0594-20.2020 Abstract Task episodes consist of sequences of steps that are performed to achieve a goal. We used fMRI to examine neural representation of task identity, component items, and sequential position, focusing on two major cortical systems—the multiple-demand (MD) and default mode networks (DMN).
