Reports an error in "Should I stop or should I go? The role of associations and expectancies" by Maisy Best, Natalia S. Lawrence, Gordon D. Logan, Ian P. L. McLaren and Frederick Verbruggen (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016[Jan], Vol 42[1], 115-137). In the article, there is an error in Table 3 of the Results and third paragraph of the Results section l...

Inhibitory control, the ability to stop inappropriate actions, is an important cognitive function often investigated via the stopsignal task, in which an infrequent stop signal instructs the subject to stop a default go response. Previously, we proposed a rational decision-making model for stopping, suggesting the observer makes a repeated Go versus Wait choice at each instant, so that a Stop r...

While traffic signals are necessary to safely control competing flows of traffic, they inevitably enforce a stop-and-go movement pattern that increases fuel consumption, reduces traffic flow and causes traffic jams. These side effects can be alleviated by providing drivers and their onboard computational devices (e.g., vehicle computer, smartphone) with information about the schedule of the tra...

We report an experiment testing the hypothesis that impuistve behavior reflects a deficit in the ability to inhibit prepotent responses. Specifically, we examined whether impulsive people respond more slowly to signals to inhibit ("stop signals) than nonimpulsive people. In this experiment, 136 undergraduate students completed an impulsiviry questionnaire and then participated in a stop-signal ...

produces a saccade (GO process) and the other that prevents the GO process from finishing (STOP process; Logan & Cowan, 1984, Psych Rev). An interactive race model was formulated to explore how the STOP process can prevent GO from finishing through lateral inhibition, motivated by the finding that firing rates in presaccadic movement cells in the saccadic generator network, including the fronta...

34 Transportation system produces a large percentage of local pollutants including hydrocarbons 35 (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), etc. Apart 36 from switching to alternative fuels, one measure would be to apply information and communi37 cation technologies to help us drive more smoothly so as to decrease pollutants emissions. This 38 paper studie...

Quantifying factors that affect bus travel time along arterials is necessary to prioritize investments to reduce bus travel time and its variability and to design advanced prediction and traveler information systems. The joint effects of bus stop location (near vs. far side), intersection delay and traffic conditions on travel time have not been addressed in the literature. To fill this researc...
