Sequential modulation of distractor-interference produced by semantic generalization of stimulus features

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Sequential modulations of distractor-related interference (i.e., reduced congruency effect after incongruent as compared to congruent predecessor trials, a.k.a. Gratton effect) have been taken to reflect conflict-induced attentional focusing.

Spontaneous Alpha and Theta Oscillations Are Related to Complementary Aspects of Cognitive Control in Younger and Older Adults

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
The resting-state human electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum is dominated by alpha (8–12 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) oscillations, and also includes non-oscillatory broadband activity inversely related to frequency (1/f activity).

The Age Of Globular Clusters In Light Of Hipparcos: Resolving the Age Problem? [PDF]

, 1997
We review five independent techniques which are used to set the distance scale to globular clusters, including subdwarf main sequence fitting utilizing the recent Hipparcos parallax catalogue.

Social priming improves cognitive control in elderly adults--evidence from the Simon task. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
We examined whether social priming of cognitive states affects the inhibitory process in elderly adults, as aging is related to deficits in inhibitory control.

Attentional Reorientation and Inhibition Adjustment in a Verbal Stroop Task: A Lifespan Approach to Interference and Sequential Congruency Effect

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Several parameters influence the interference effect elicited in a Stroop task, especially contextual information. Contextual effects in the Stroop paradigms are known as the Gratton or Sequential congruency effect (SCE).

Generalizing attentional control across dimensions and tasks: evidence from transfer of proportion-congruent effects [PDF]

, 2015
Three experiments investigated transfer of list-wide proportion congruent (LWPC) effects from a set of congruent and incongruent items with different frequency (inducer task) to a set of congruent and incongruent items with equal frequency (diagnostic ...

Is conflict adaptation triggered by feature repetitions? An unexpected finding.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
For decades, cognitive adaptation to response conflict has been considered to be the hallmark of cognitive control. Notwithstanding a vast amount of evidence ruling out low-level interpretations of these findings, disbelief still exists with regard to ...
