Dissociation between Reaction Time and Pupil Dilation in the Stroop Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hershman, Ronen; Henik, Avishai – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
It has been suggested that the Stroop task gives rise to 2 conflicts: the information conflict (color vs. word meaning) and the task conflict (name the color vs. read the word). However, behavioral indications for task conflict (reaction time [RT] congruent condition longer than RT neutral condition) appear under very restricted conditions. We…

Is Conflict Adaptation Due to Active Regulation or Passive Carry-Over? Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hubbard, Jason; Kuhns, David; Schäfer, Theo A. J.; Mayr, Ulrich – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Conflict-adaptation effects (i.e., reduced response-time costs on high-conflict trials following high-conflict trials) supposedly represent our cognitive system's ability to regulate itself according to current processing demands. However, currently it is not clear whether these effects reflect conflict-triggered, active regulation, or passive…

Cognitive Effort Is Modulated outside of the Explicit Awareness of Conflict Frequency: Evidence from Pupillometry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Diede, Nathaniel T.; Bugg, Julie M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Classic theories of cognitive control conceptualized controlled processes as slow, strategic, and willful, with automatic processes being fast and effortless. The context-specific proportion compatibility (CSPC) effect, the reduction in the compatibility effect in a context (e.g., location) associated with a high relative to low likelihood of…

Dual-Task Crosstalk between Saccades and Manual Responses
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huestegge, Lynn; Koch, Iring – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Between-task crosstalk has been discussed as an important source for dual-task costs. In this study, the authors examine concurrently performed saccades and manual responses as a means of studying the role of response-code conflict between 2 tasks. In Experiment 1, participants responded to an imperative auditory stimulus with a left or a right…

Conflicting Cues in a Dynamic Search Task Are Reflected in Children's Eye Movements and Search Errors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Haddad, Jeffrey M.; Kloos, Heidi; Keen, Rachel – Developmental Science, 2008
Three-year-olds were given a search task with conflicting cues about the target's location. A ball rolled behind a transparent screen and stopped behind one of four opaque doors mounted into the screen. A wall that protruded above one door provided a visible cue of blockage in the ball's path, while the transparent screen allowed visual tracking…

Response Inhibition in Motor and Oculomotor Conflict Tasks: Different Mechanisms, Different Dynamics?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wijnen, Jasper G.; Ridderinkhof, K. Richard – Brain and Cognition, 2007
Previous research has shown that the appearance of task-irrelevant abrupt onsets influences saccadic eye movements during visual search and may slow down manual reactions to target stimuli. Analysis of reaction time distributions in the present study offers evidence suggesting that top-down inhibition processes actively suppress oculomotor or…
