“…It can be seen as the suppression of the inhibitory effect of the n-1 trial on the n-2 trial. The knowledge system is thought to be a storage system, which includes procedural and implicit-perceptual knowledge (Klimesch, 2011;Petruo, Stock, Münchau, & Beste, 2016) important during cognitive flexibility . The P1 ERP-component is assumed to represent mechanisms related to the suppression of information in task irrelevant networks during early categorization thereby controlling access to information stored in a knowledge system (Klimesch, 2011).…”

Cognitive flexibility is a major facet of executive functions and often refers to sequential task control; that is, it is very likely that one may re‐encounter a task that has previously been abandoned to carry out a different task. In the context of sequential cognitive flexibility, the “backward inhibition (BI) effect” has been studied quite extensively. Here we ask whether there are age‐related differences between adolescents and adults to overcome BI and what system‐neurophysiological mechanisms underlie these modulations. This was examined using a system neurophysiological study procedure combining event‐related potentials data with source localization and EEG signal decomposition methods. We show that sequential cognitive flexibility, and the ability overcome backward inhibition, is inferior in adolescents compared with adults. Accounting for intra‐individual variability in the neurophysiological data, this data suggest that two partly inter‐related processes underlie the differences between adolescents than adults to overcome backward inhibition: One process refers to the suppression of the inhibitory effect of the n‐1 trial on the n‐2 trial during perceptual categorization of incoming information that is associated with right inferior frontal regions. The other process refers to immature response selection and conflict monitoring mechanisms associated with regions in the medial frontal cortex.

“…Later studies have provided evidence that this effect is due to the fact that (a) the co-occurrence of stimulus and response features leads to the binding of the respective feature codes into the so-called event files (Hommel 2004), which are then (b) retrieved whenever at least one of the features is repeated (Beste et al 2016; Colzato et al 2005; Keizer et al 2008; Frings et al 2007; Kühn et al 2011; Moeller and Frings 2014; Petruo et al 2016). The binding part of this scenario seems to be rather immune to all sorts of attentional and instructional variation, while the retrieval part is systematically affected by the degree to which a particular stimulus dimension is attended (e.g., Hommel 2004, 2007).…”

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The effect of gamma-enhancing binaural beats on the control of feature bindings

Binaural beats represent the auditory experience of an oscillating sound that occurs when two sounds with neighboring frequencies are presented to one’s left and right ear separately. Binaural beats have been shown to impact information processing via their putative role in increasing neural synchronization. Recent studies of feature-repetition effects demonstrated interactions between perceptual features and action-related features: repeating only some, but not all features of a perception–action episode hinders performance. These partial-repetition (or binding) costs point to the existence of temporary episodic bindings (event files) that are automatically retrieved by repeating at least one of their features. Given that neural synchronization in the gamma band has been associated with visual feature bindings, we investigated whether the impact of binaural beats extends to the top-down control of feature bindings. Healthy adults listened to gamma-frequency (40 Hz) binaural beats or to a constant tone of 340 Hz (control condition) for ten minutes before and during a feature-repetition task. While the size of visuomotor binding costs (indicating the binding of visual and action features) was unaffected by the binaural beats, the size of visual feature binding costs (which refer to the binding between the two visual features) was considerably smaller during gamma-frequency binaural beats exposure than during the control condition. Our results suggest that binaural beats enhance selectivity in updating episodic memory traces and further strengthen the hypothesis that neural activity in the gamma band is critically associated with the control of feature binding.

“…The results showed that during the acquisition phase, the readiness potential (RP) (e.g., Shibasaki and Hallett, 2006) component, which is a slow, negative going potential prior to an action execution that reflects the general preparation of voluntary movement, was more negative under intention-based conditions, but the P3 component—a positive potential observed approximately 300 ms after the stimulus presentation that reflects the formation of a link between stimulus evaluation and response selection (e.g., Petruo et al, 2016) —was more positive under stimulus-based conditions. However, the ERP mode was not included during the test phase.…”

Age-related decreases in action are caused by neuromuscular weakness and cognitive decline. Although physical interventions have been reported to have beneficial effects on cognitive function in older adults, whether cognitive training improves action-related function remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of combined cognitive training on intention-based and stimulus-based actions in older adults using event-related potentials (ERPs). A total of 26 healthy older adults (16 in the training group and 10 in the control group) participated in the study. The training group received 16 sessions of cognitive training, including eight sessions of executive function training and eight sessions of memory strategy training. Before and after training, both groups of participants underwent cognitive assessments and ERP recordings during both the acquisition and test phases with a motor cognitive paradigm. During the acquisition phase, subjects were asked to press one of two keys, either using a self-selected (intention-based) method or based on the preceding stimulus (stimulus-based). During the test phase, subjects were asked to respond to the pre-cues with either congruent or incongruent tasks. Using ERP indices—including readiness potential, P3 and contingent negative variation to identify motor preparation, stimulus processing and interference effect, respectively—we revealed the effects of training on both intention-based and stimulus-based actions. The correlations were also computed between the improved cognitive performance and the ERP amplitudes. It was shown that the improved executive function might extend substantial benefits to both actions, whereas associative memory may be specifically related to the bidirectional action-effect association of intention-based action, although the training effect of memory was absent during the insufficient training hours. In sum, the present study provided empirical evidence demonstrating that action could benefit from cognitive training.
