Unconscious context-specific proportion congruency effect in a stroop-like task

Temporal and spectral dynamics underlying cognitive control modulated by task-irrelevant stimulus-response learning

“…Mostly related to this study, in interference tasks the amplitude of N2 usually increases in high conflict condition relative to low conflict condition (Danielmeier, Wessel, Steinhauser, & Ullsperger, 2009;Forster, Carter, Cohen, & Cho, 2011;van Veen & Carter, 2002a), reflecting the detection of conflict in cognitive processing (Ridderinkhof, van den Wildenberg, Segalowitz, & Carter, 2004;Yeung et al, 2004). In addition, the N2 amplitude may be modulated, showing a similar conflict adaptation or PC effect as in the behavioral results (Clayson & Larson, 2011;Jiang, van Gaal, Bailey, Chen, & Zhang, Jiang et al 2013;Panadero, Castellanos, & Tudela, 2015), suggesting that the variation in the N2 amplitude may reflect the dynamic of cognitive control. These ERP results mirror the findings of fMRI studies (Blais & Bunge, 2010;Botvinick, Nystrom, Fissell, Carter, & Cohen, 1999;Carter et al, 2000).…”

Learning Rapidly about the Relevance of Visual Cues Requires Conscious Awareness

“…We would also note that our results do not go directly against more recent work on contextspecific conflict adaptation (e.g. Panadero et al, 2015;Reuss et al, 2014;Schouppe et al, 2014). In these studies participants can benefit from a conscious or unconscious cue indicating the context (high or low conflict) in which they are working, but must infer which context is which from the themselves.…”

The semantic origin of unconscious priming: Behavioral and event-related potential evidence during category congruency priming from strongly and weakly related masked words

“…The processing of the response congruency relation between prime and target has been previously associated with the N200 ERP component, a negative deflection with a fronto-central distribution that peaks around 250-350 ms after stimulus presentation (e.g., Ridderinkhof, Ullsperger, Crone, & Nieuwenhuis, 2004). The amplitude of the N200 component has been found to be more negative in incongruent (or incompatible) trials compared to congruent (or compatible) trials (e.g., Clayson & Larson, 2011;Wendt & Luna-Rodríguez, 2009; see also Panadero, Castellanos, & Tudela, 2015). Furthermore, unconscious response priming has been shown to modulate occipito-parietal ERPs in the N200 time range, consistent with the notion of a rapid activation of visuo-motor representation within the dorsal visual pathway (e.g., Jaśkowski, Skalska, & Verleger, 2003;Martens, Ansorge, & Kiefer, 2011;Zovko & Kiefer, 2013).…”
