Conflict-monitoring theory proposes that conflict between incompatible responses is
registered by a dedicated monitoring system, and that this conflict signal triggers changes of …

Academic emotions can have different influences on learning effects, but these have not
been systematically studied. In this paper, we objectively evaluate the influence of various …

Response conflicts play a prominent role in the flexible adaptation of behavior as they
represent context-signals that indicate the necessity for the recruitment of cognitive control …

The idea that conflict detection triggers control adjustments has been considered a basic
principle of cognitive control. So far, this “conflict-control loop” has mainly been investigated …

How do emotional stimuli change the way we control our behavior? The interaction between
emotion and behavior-shaping, cognitive control mechanisms remain little understood in …

The congruency sequence effect (CSE) is one of the most investigated effects in the
cognitive control literature. The conflict monitoring theory suggests that the CSE is the result …

Postural changes and the maintenance of postural stability have been shown to affect many
aspects of cognition. Here we examined the extent to which selective visual attention may …

Stimuli that evoke emotions are salient, draw attentional resources, and facilitate
situationally appropriate behavior in complex or conflicting environments. However …

Several previous studies have highlighted the potential of transcutaneous vagus nerve
stimulation (tVNS) to enhance executive control of action. In the present study, we tested for …

Conflict adaptation is a cognitive mechanism denoting increased cognitive control upon
detection of conflict. This mechanism can be measured by the congruency sequence effect …
