“…To date, the stimulus‐response interval (SRI) with respect to errors in selective attention speeded motor response tasks remains confounded, such that it is unclear whether error‐related effects during the SRI may be attributable to stimulus‐evoked (perceptual) or response‐preceding (motor) processes. For example, amplitudes of ERP peaks following stimulus presentation have correlated with trial performance in some studies (Perri, Berchicci, Lucci, Spinelli, & Di Russo, ; Perri, Berchicci, Spinelli, & Di Russo, ), as have amplitudes from ERP peaks preceding motor responses in other studies (Bode & Stahl, ; Meckler, Carbonnell, Hasbroucq, Burle, & Vidal, ; Roger, Nunez Castellar, Pourtois, & Fias, ), but whether these separate sets of findings reflect stimulus‐ or response‐related phenomena remains unclear. This is because the standard practice of computing ERPs by averaging voltages across trials time‐locked to either stimulus or response event, without accounting for possible overlap among the two processes (that often occur in rapid succession), suggests that some effect of potentials related to the response are possibly contained in the stimulus‐locked ERP (e.g., Salisbury, Rutherford, Shenton, & McCarley, ) and vice versa.…”
