Abstract: The paradigm of task switching was used to examine the effects of cue and preparation in shifting attention. The subjects were 34 high-and low-proficiency junior high school learners of math. The results indicated that there were significant effects of cue and preparation for general switch cost;and there were only significant effects of cue for special switch cost. High-proficiency learners could make better preparations for the incoming trail through cue and preparation interval than low-proficiency learners.

Key words: shifting attention, task switching paradigm, effects of cue, effects of preparation
