Goal-directed behavior requires both stability and flexibility. In the present study, we investigated the impact of these cognitive control demands on subsequent memory performance with a task switching paradigm. In experiment 1 we used univalent stimuli, in experiment 2 we used bivalent stimuli. In both experiments, recognition memory for switch and repetition stimuli was tested subsequently. During encoding, task switching produced switch costs in both experiments. Critically, subsequent memory was consistently lower for switch compared to repetition stimuli. Thus, flexibility during task switching seemed to hurt the encoding of stimulus-specific information. Consequently, the enhanced demands of task switching are associated with an increased encoding time but lower subsequent memory performance.
