Conflict Monitoring or Multi-tasking? Tracking Within-Task Performance in Single-item and Multi-item Stroop Tasks

Abstract: Cognitive control is applied in situations that require overriding a habitual and automatic response. The conflict monitoring hypothesis posits a control system responsible for detecting conflicting occasions and adapting to them, leading to performance improvement, regardless of how stimuli are presented. Here we evaluate this prediction in two versions of one of the most popular tasks in cognitive control, namely the Stroop task. We hypothesized that nearby-items interference combines with task interference … Show more

“…In particular, in comparison to standard RAN tasks (or the neutral condition), the incongruent condition of the multi-item Stroop task stands out due to its double nature: It includes both alphanumeric content (the words) and nonalphanumeric content (the colors), suggesting that successful performance requires both automatic and controlled processes, respectively (Roelofs, 2006). Moreover, the multi-item Stroop task is not a simple, serial single-task but a multitask (Ziaka & Protopapas, 2021). Successful performance in the incongruent condition of the multi-item task requires additional parallel processes, absent in serial RAN tasks, namely: (a) parafoveal identification of the automatic dimension (i.e., word) of the upcoming item to be flagged as irrelevant, and (b) processing of the two dimensions of the current item, namely the integrated, controlled, and slower color dimension and the flagged-as-irrelevant word dimension.…”
