“…The interaction between the current SOA and validity, F(1, 42) 0 15.61, pB.001, g 2 p ¼ :27, revealed that the validity effect was present only for the short SOA, F(1, 42) 033.06, pB.001, g 2 p ¼ :44, and not for the long SOA, F(1, 42) 01.08, p 0.305, g 2 p ¼ :02. This is the usually observed pattern of results (see, e.g., Correa et al, 2006Correa et al, , 2010. A significant main effect of previous SOA, F(1, 42) 045.52, p B.001, g 2 p ¼ :50, indicated slower RT on trials preceded by long SOA trials (320 ms) than on trials that were preceded by short SOA trials (301 ms).…”

“…Specifically, in the short SOA condition, a typically reported validity effect was observed: responses were slower in the invalid cue condition than in the valid cue condition (cf. Correa et al, 2004Correa et al, , 2006Correa et al, , 2010. Moreover, we observed a sequential effect indexed by slower responses after long previous SOA intervals.…”

The present study addressed the question whether bilinguals are characterised by increased cognitive flexibility. Mechanisms of cognitive flexibility were compared between a group of Hungarian-Polish bilinguals and a group of Hungarian monolinguals. The first task explored the effects of temporal orienting (ability to voluntarily orient attention to a certain point in time when a relevant event is expected) and the efficiency of switching between preparatory time intervals of different duration (sequential effects). The second task Á the social category switching task Á tapped into the mechanisms of switching between 2 types of categories (age and gender) and employed socially relevant stimuli (faces). The results of the first task revealed similar temporal orienting effects for both groups; however, the pattern of sequential effects differed between the groups, showing that bilinguals were less affected by the duration of the preceding preparatory interval. In the social category switching task, bilinguals showed reduced switch costs in the RT measure when categorising gender, and greater accuracy in the specific switch and no-switch conditions. We suggest that bilinguals are characterised by an enhanced mechanism of cognitive flexibility, which is applied to a temporal domain (efficient switching between preparatory intervals of different duration), and extends to the cognitive control processes in social categorisation tasks.

“…The authors of these studies suggested that this periodicity indicates that attention processes multiple stimuli sequentially, i.e., attention in these tasks is reoriented to different locations, following a low-frequency rhythm. To date, only one study [26] has explicitly manipulated covert attention to assess the behavioral periodicity of attentional sampling with a discrimination task; unfortunately, the main dependent variable was reaction time, which can reflect perceptual processing speed, motor anticipation [30], and criterion [17]. Moreover, although two studies have provided convincing evidence showing that two locations are sampled in alternation [24, 27], whether the periodicity is actually due to a sequential reallocation of attention or to the independent sampling of each location is still largely debated [31].…”

Attention Reorients Periodically

SUMMARY Reorienting of voluntary attention enables the processing of stimuli at previously unattended locations. Although studies have identified a ventral fronto-parietal network underlying attention [1, 2], little is known about whether and how early visual areas are involved in involuntary [3, 4] and even less in voluntary [5] reorienting, and their temporal dynamics are unknown. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the occipital cortex to interfere with attentional reorienting and study its role and temporal dynamics in this process. Human observers performed an orientation discrimination task, with either valid or invalid attention cueing, across a range of stimulus contrasts. Valid cueing induced a behavioral response gain increase, higher asymptotic performance for attended than unattended locations. During subsequent TMS sessions, observers performed the same task, with high stimulus contrast. Based on phosphene mapping, TMS double pulses were applied at one of various delays to a consistent brain location in retinotopic areas (V1/V2), corresponding to the evoked signal of the target or distractor, in a valid or invalid trial. Thus, the stimulation was identical for the four experimental conditions (valid/invalid cue condition × target/distractor-stimulated). TMS modulation of the target and distractor were both periodic (5 Hz, theta) and out of phase with respect to each other in invalid trials only, when attention had to be disengaged from the distractor and reoriented to the target location. Reorientation of voluntary attention periodically involves V1/V2 at the theta frequency. These results suggest that TMS probes theta phase-reset by attentional reorienting and help link periodic sampling in time and attention reorienting in space.

“…The ability to stop an ongoing action quickly when it is no longer appropriate is an important part of the human executive control function [Logan and Cowan, ; Miyake and Friedman, ]. This ability may be significantly impaired with brain disorders and lesions that involve the frontal and basal ganglia system [Aron et al, ; Nachev et al, ; Sumner et al, ; Correa et al, ; Dalley et al, ; Smith et al, ; Sebastian et al, ; Benis et al, ]. Accumulating evidence indicates that such rapid stopping of an ongoing action relies on the fronto‐basal‐ganglia network, including the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the right presupplementary motor area (preSMA) [Miller and Cohen, ; Sumner et al, ; Chambers et al, ; Aron, ].…”

PreSMA stimulation changes task‐free functional connectivity in the fronto‐basal‐ganglia that correlates with response inhibition efficiency

Previous work using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) demonstrated that the right pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), a node in the fronto-basal-ganglia network, is critical for response inhibition. However, TMS influences interconnected regions, raising the possibility of a link between the preSMA activity and the functional connectivity within the network. To understand this relationship, we applied single-pulse TMS to the right preSMA during functional magnetic resonance imaging when the subjects were at rest to examine changes in neural activity and functional connectivity within the network in relation to the efficiency of response inhibition evaluated with a stop-signal task. The results showed that preSMA-TMS increased activation in the right inferior-frontal cortex (rIFC) and basal ganglia and modulated their task-free functional connectivity. Both the TMS-induced changes in the basal-ganglia activation and the functional connectivity between rIFC and left striatum, and of the overall network correlated with the efficiency of response inhibition and with the white-matter microstructure along the preSMA – rIFC pathway. These results suggest that the task-free functional and structural connectivity between the rIFCop and basal ganglia are critical to the efficiency of response inhibition.
