Abstract Event-related potentials were recorded (N = 18) in a hybrid go/no-go Eriksen flanker task to study the neural correlates of response inhibition. Three letters were assigned to either a left-hand, a right-hand, or a no-go response. These three ...
Abstract The influence of strategy was examined for a simple response task, a choice-by-location task, and the Simon task by varying time pressure. Besides reaction time (RT) and accuracy, we measured response force and derived two measures from the event-...
AbstractSmoking/nicotine improves cognitive performance for a variety of tasks. In most cases, reaction time (RT) is generally shorter after smoking/nicotine. While there may be some slight facilitation of stimulus-evaluation processing, most of the RT ...
Abstract Studies are reviewed that used movement-related EEG potentials to investigate impairments of movement control in neurological patients. The EEG potentials reviewed are the Bereitschaftspotential (BP), Contingent Negative Variation (CNV), and ...
In a binary response setting, it has been frequently observed that small numbers are reacted to faster with the left hand and large numbers with the right hand (i. e., the SNARC-effect) which reflects the spatial left-right orientation of the mental ...
