This article reviews evidence for the special inhibitory mechanisms required to keep
response activation related to affordances of a non-target object from evoking responses …

In the present study, we examined how the relevance of potentially distracting information
modulates the interplay of target and distractor processing in conflict tasks. Specifically, we …

Conflict tasks are commonly used to investigate control processes under situations of
relevant and irrelevant sources of information. In addition to compatibility effects at a mean …

It is yet not well known whether different types of conflicts share common or rely on distinct
brain mechanisms of conflict processing. We used a combined Flanker (stimulus–stimulus; S …

Purpose Attention and language are hypothesized to interact in bilingual children and in
children with developmental language disorder (DLD). In children who are bilingual …

Stroop-like and Simon tasks produce two sources of interference in human information
processing. Despite being logically similar, it is still debated whether the conflicts ensuing …

The ability to detect and resolve conflict is an essential function of cognitive control.
Laboratory studies often use stimulus–response-compatibility (SRC) tasks to examine …

Would it be helpful to inform a driver about when a conflicting traffic situation is going to
occur? We tested whether temporal orienting of attention could enhance executive control to …

The present study aimed to assess whether the representation of the typical size of objects
can interact with response position codes in two-choice bimanual tasks, and give rise to a …

We combined analyses of reaction time (RT) distributions with experimental manipulations
of different processing stages (perception, decision, motor execution) in a Simon task to …
