Conflict-monitoring theory proposes that conflict between incompatible responses is
registered by a dedicated monitoring system, and that this conflict signal triggers changes of …

Conflict between competing neural representations is thought to serve as an internal signal
for the recruitment of 'cognitive control', which resolves conflict by biasing information …

The congruency sequence effect (CSE) describes the finding that congruency effects in
classic probes of selective attention (like the Stroop, Simon, and flanker tasks) are smaller …

One of the most influential ideas in recent decades in the cognitive psychology literature is
conflict monitoring theory. According to this account, each time we experience a conflict (eg …

Human beings have an astonishing ability to carry out and control complex behavior, and,
moreover, they seem to do so without much effort and conscious awareness about the …

Cognitive control covers a broad range of cognitive functions, but its research and theories
typically remain tied to a single domain. Here we outline and review an associative learning …

Congruency sequence effects (CSEs) refer to the observation that congruency effects in
conflict tasks are typically smaller following incongruent compared to following congruent …

Over the past decade, many cognitive control researchers have studied to what extent
adaptations to conflict are domain-general or rather specific, mostly by testing whether or not …

A common finding in distracter interference (eg, Flanker) tasks is that the difference in mean
reaction time (RT) between incongruent and congruent trials—the congruency effect—is …

The congruency effect in distracter interference (eg, Stroop) tasks is often reduced after
incongruent trials, relative to congruent trials. It has been proposed that this congruency …
