Interacting with our environment requires the selection of appropriate responses and the
inhibition of others. Such effortful inhibition is achieved by a number of interference …

Background Interference resolution refers to cognitive control processes enabling one to
focus on task-related information while filtering out unrelated information. But the exact …

The ability to inhibit inappropriate responses is central to cognitive control, but whether the
same brain mechanisms mediate inhibition across different tasks is not known. We present …

Response inhibition and interference resolution are often considered subcomponents of an
overarching inhibition system that utilizes the so-called cortico-basal-ganglia loop. Up until …

Inhibitory control is the stopping of a mental process with or without intention,
conceptualized as mental suppression of competing information because of limited cognitive …

A quantitative meta-analysis was performed on 47 neuroimaging studies involving tasks
purported to require the resolution of interference. The tasks included the Stroop, flanker …

An influential hypothesis from the last decade proposed that regions within the right inferior
frontal cortex of the human brain were dedicated to supporting response inhibition. There is …

The ability to mitigate interference from information that was previously relevant, but is no
longer relevant, is central to successful cognition. Several studies have implicated left …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods may help in understanding
processes of response capture and response inhibition in conflict tasks, such as the Simon …

Memory of a past experience can interfere with processing during a subsequent experience,
a phenomenon termed proactive interference (PI). Neuroimaging and neuropsychological …
