Age-related dynamics of cognitive control in a cued flanker task
… can be used to respond in a conflict task, with different 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 …

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 …

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
… States. 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 …

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
… design, event-related potentials (ERPs) and task performance were assessed while participants 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 …

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 …

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). …

Task Switching and Distractibility
In this thesis I examined the effects of task switching on people’s ability to ignore irrelevant distractors. Load theory proposes that distractor interference critically depends on the availability of executive control to minimise the effects of irrelevant stimuli (e.g. Lavie, 2000). Much work on …

DOES LIFETIME ENGAGEMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AFFECT EXECUTIVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN OLDER ADULTS?
… performed 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 …

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 …

The acute effects of varying intensities of treadmill walking exercise on cognition in persons with multiple sclerosis
… order. Participants underwent a modified-flanker task and Go/No-Go task as measures of executive control immediately prior to and following each condition. Results: Repeated-measures ANOVAs indicated large, statistically significant pre-to-post reductions in the cost of interfering stimuli …

The influence of physical activity, sedentary time, and adiposity, on behavioral and neuroelectric measures of attentional inhibition
… control, was assessed using a modified Eriksen Flanker task. Neuroelectric function was assessed using event-related brain potentials. Specifically, the changes (incongruent - congruent task conditions) in amplitude of the P3 waveform in a central-parietal region of interest (ROI) was used to …

Impacting factors for attention in children who are internationally adopted
… using parent report questionnaires, the Colors Flanker Task, and event-related potentials (e.g., Error related negativity, N2). A post-hoc analysis of a pre-existing data set included 96 IA children ages 5-10. The main finding indicated that children cared for in foster care over time were rated …

Executive control: an electrophysiological investigation of control processes
… experimental chapter investigates the process of task switching. More specifically, how demanding is a proposed stage of endogenous task-set reconfiguration in terms of information processing? It was previously reported that the process of task-set reconfiguration constitutes a hard bottleneck …

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 …

Medial Prefrontal Cortex fNIRS Activity while Viewing Nature and Urban Scenes: The Search for Neurological Evidence of Nature's Transcendent Self-Diminishment Effect
… to measure their level of immersion. A Flanker task was used to separate the image blocks after each immersion questionnaire. There was no significant difference in HbT between nature and urban scenes, but a significant main effect of valence was found. Unpleasant stimuli compared to …

The Behavioral and Electrophysiological Effects of Discrimination and Inhibition Training on Visual Selective Attention: an ERP and Time-Frequency Analysis
<p>Enhancement of task relevant information and the suppression of task irrelevant information are the two co-occurring mechanisms of selective attention. Studies have shown that ERP components (specifically N2, P3, and RP) and the alpha band (8-14 Hz) rhythm correspond to neural mechanisms and …

An Investigation Of The Cognitive And Perceptual Mechanisms Involved In Mania-Proneness
… biases were measured via an affective flanker task, a suboptimal priming task, and a judgment task about the probability of future events. In addition, affect was assessed at baseline and after the receipt of a reward. Results indicate that BAS was related to an enhanced orientation …

The negative influence of adiposity extends to intraindividual variability in cognitive control among preadolescent children
… inhibition was assessed using a modified flanker task. IIV was assessed as standard deviation (SDRT) and coefficient of variation (CVRT) of response time. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between adiposity and cognitive measures following …

The independent and interactive influence of lutein and choline on cognitive control
