Task conflict in the Stroop task: When Stroop interference decreases as Stroop facilitation increases in a low task conflict context
In the present study participants completed two blocks of the Stroop task, one in which the response-stimulus interval (RSI) was 3500 ms and one in which RSI was 200 ms. It was expected that, in line with previous research, the shorter RSI would induce a low Task Conflict context by increasing focus on the color identification goal in the Stroop task and lead to a novel finding of an increase i...
متن کاملAdaptation to recent conflict in the classical color-word Stroop-task mainly involves facilitation of processing of task-relevant information
To process information selectively and to continuously fine-tune selectivity of information processing are important abilities for successful goal-directed behavior. One phenomenon thought to represent this fine-tuning are conflict adaptation effects in interference tasks, i.e., reduction of interference after an incompatible trial and when incompatible trials are frequent. The neurocognitive m...
متن کاملAn electroencephalographic examination of the origin of cognitive decline in aging adults during the colour word Stroop task
It is consistently found that aging adults are limited in their ability to ignore distracting information while performing a cognitive task. To delineate the origin of this cognitive decline electroencephalography (EEG) was used to examine the brain activity of young adults (aged 20-30) and older adults (aged 45-65) as they performed a Stroop task. This task was designed to isolate stimulus and...
متن کاملA developmental fMRI study of the Stroop color-word task.
We used fMRI to investigate developmental changes in brain activation during a Stroop color-word interference task. A positive correlation was observed between age and Stroop-related activation (n = 30) in the left lateral prefrontal cortex, the left anterior cingulate, and the left parietal and parieto-occipital cortices. No regions showed a negative correlation between activation and age. We ...
متن کاملThe effects of aging on controlled attention and conflict processing in the Stroop task.
Recent computational modeling and behavioral work indicate that age-related declines in the ability to represent task context may contribute to disruptions of working memory and selective attention in older adults. However, it is unclear whether age-related declines in context processing arise from a disruption of the encoding or maintenance of task context and how age-related declines in conte...
