  1. Age-related dynamics of cognitive control in a cued flanker task

    Chism, SydneyUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign2025

    … 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 …

    Rogers, Kaila2019

    … 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 …

  6. Selective attention under different pressure sources and perceptual loads

    Chu, HengqingUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2013

    "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 …

    Skiba, Rafal

    … 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). …

  8. Task Switching and Distractibility

    Brand, Sarah LouiseUniversity of London2007

    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 …

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 …
