Age-related dynamics of cognitive control in a cued flanker task
… speed and accuracy outcomes. During a cued flanker task, where cues indicate the probability that an upcoming stimulus will be congruent (75%, 50%, or 25%), participants may use the cue to adjust their processing strategy to rely more on the early or late stages. Relying on early stages …

Selective attention under different pressure sources and perceptual loads
"Using a flanker task, this study investigated how selective attention under different perceptual loads is affected by pressure. The first three experiments examined the pressure effects on selective attention of non-emotional stimuli using letters, and the fourth experiment investigated emotional …

Visual Working Memory and Visual Selective Attention among Survivors of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
… A dual-task paradigm, combining a VWM task and a flanker task, assessing visual selective attention, was used. Participants ran in 6 dual-task conditions that varied in VWM feature/task (color, shape, location) and of the flanker feature/task (color, shape). Participants also ran in 3 single-task …

Impact of affective traits on response interference: modulations by trait negative affect, anxious arousal, and anxious apprehension
… 8-item scale to measure NA and a modified Flanker task. They also completed measures of anxious apprehension (AP; Penn State Worry Questionnaire) and anxious arousal (AA; MASQ), known to influence attention processing. Participants identified one of two target letters (X or N) among five …

Does the sum of the parts equal the whole: relationships between executive function, visual attention and heart rate variability in ROTC cadets
… visual attention was assessed with a modified Flanker task, and HRV was measured twice weekly over a twelve-week period. Results revealed a moderate relationship between participants’ executive function (particularly those items related to behavioral regulation) and HRV. However, neither …

Task Switching and Distractibility
… distractor interference as measured with the “flanker task” (e.g. Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974) and with the attentional capture task (e.g. Theeuwes, 1990), even when there was no overlap between the stimuli and responses for the two tasks, and when task-repeated and switch trials were presented …

Cardiorespiratory Influences on Executive Control Function
… while participants completed both a modified flanker task and a modified Sternberg task under task instruction conditions that stressed speed and accuracy. A graded maximal exercise test (GXT) was used to measure cardiorespiratory fitness by assessing maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). The …

The Relationship Between Cognitive And Linguistic Abilities In Bilingual Children
… Participants were presented with two tasks: the Flanker task as the measure of attentional control (resistance to distractor interference) and the Lexical decision task as the measure of reading ability (processing words and discarding pseudohomophones). Performance in the Flanker task predicted …

The effects of single bouts of moderate-intensity continuous exercise and high-intensity interval exercise on the modulations of inhibitory control, working memory, and long-term memory
… performed a free recall task, a modified flanker task, and a modified Sternberg task following 20 minutes of seated rest, MICE, and HIIE on three separate days in counterbalanced order. Following both MICE and HIIE, participants recalled more words in the free recall list and exhibited …

The effects of single bouts of aerobic exercise, videogame play, and exergaming on cognitive control
… Thirty-six young adults performed a modified flanker task during four separate, counterbalanced sessions, using a within-subjects design. Participants were trained on the flanker and gaming tasks prior to completing the experimental conditions, and then completed a cardiorespiratory fitness …

Temporal and spatial contextual modulation of walking direction in biological motion
… target point-light walker in the presence of two flanker walkers, one on each side. An attractive effect is found in the spatial task, and a comparison of spatial and temporal contextual effects on perceived walking direction reveals opposing effects within the same participants. Tuning of spatial …

Physical activity for the brain, but for whom? An individual difference investigation of the FITKids clinical trial on cognitive control and ERPs in children
… fitness assessment as well as a modified flanker task while event-related potentials (ERP) were collected. Pre-test cardiorespiratory fitness results revealed insufficient sample size for higher-fit children. Thus, fitness was utilized as a matching variable with one hundred seventy-two …

Working Memory Load Under Anxiety: Quadratic Relations to Cardiac Vagal Control and Inhibition of Distractor Interference
… (0, 2, 4, 6 digits) while completing a visual flanker task. The task was broken into four blocks, with a baseline period preceding each. ECG was acquired throughout to quantify vagal control as high-frequency heart rate variability (HRV). There were significant quadratic relations of WM load to …

THE INFLUENCE OF POSITIVE AFFECT AND ANXIETY ON ATTENTION AND CREATIVITY
… Their attention was tested on the Eriksen Flanker Task, and creativity on the Remote Associates Test (RAT) and Compound Word Problems (CWP). One of the main goals of this study was to verify the prediction based on the Broaden and Build theory of positive resources by Fredrickson (2001). …

Sensory Entrainment, Paying Attention, and Keeping Beat: General Effects and Individual Differences
… visual or auditory stimuli with interlaced Flanker test items, while EEG was recorded. At some points in the experiment participants were additionally tasked with tapping along to the 1.25-Hz beat through both beat stimuli and gaps. Some entrainment and performance effects were congruent …

Types of interference and their resolution in monolingual language production
… mechanisms (measured by the anti-saccade, arrow flanker and Simon arrow tasks) to object naming under prepotent (the PWI task) and underdetermined competition (picture naming task with name agreement, NA, manipulation) was further investigated in Study 2, while Study 3 extended the notion of …

DOES LIFETIME ENGAGEMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AFFECT EXECUTIVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN OLDER ADULTS?
… three executive cognitive function tasks (Flanker, Task Switching, and Stopping). Results: Executive cognitive function was different (p < 0.05) between Masters Swimmers and controls for flanker task trials (incongruent and congruent) and task switching. No differences between groups were …

Developmental and individual differences in novelty and error detection in 10-year-old children and young adults /
… task, and error detection during a visual flanker task. All participants showed a parietally-maximal P3 in response to auditory stimuli. In children, novel stimuli generated higher P3 amplitudes at the frontal site compared with target stimuli, whereas target stimuli generated higher P3 …

Effects of thermal stimuli during simulated hemorrhaging on aspects of cognitive performance
… via a water-perfused suit. A modified Erikson Flanker task was used as a measure of cognitive function. Affective valence and thermal sensations were also assessed. Upon completion of trials, subjects remained supine for 15 min for Tsk to return to baseline temperatures. RESULTS: Interaction …

Effects of participation in a simulated live-fire maneuver on cognitive performance of firefighters: An examination of individual differences
… tests of cognitive inhibition (modified flanker task), attention (0-back task), and working memory (n-back task: 1-back, 2-back) were completed pre and post firefighting. Throughout the evening, HR was continuously recorded and affective and perceptual states of each firefighter (thermal …
