Abstract

The ability to select between possible responses to a given situation is central to human cognition. The goal of this study was to distinguish between brain areas representing candidate responses and areas selecting between competing response alternatives. Event-related fMRI data were acquired while 10 healthy adults performed a task used to examine response competition: the Eriksen flanker task. Left parietal cortex was activated by either of two manipulations that increased the need to maintain a representation of possible responses. In contrast, lateral prefrontal and rostral anterior cingulate cortices were specifically engaged by the need to select among competing response alternatives. These findings support the idea that parietal cortex is involved in activating possible responses on the basis of learned stimulus-response associations, and that prefrontal cortex is recruited when there is a need to select between competing responses.

  • Multiple cognitive control tasks like the Flanker, Stroop, and Simon tasks engage a domain-general control network identified in dorsolateral fronto-parietal cortices.

    “Multiple cognitive control tasks like the Flanker, Stroop, and Simon tasks, which require the inhibition of automatic overlearned response tendencies, have been found to engage a domain-general control network identified in the dorsolateral fronto-parietal cortices (Aron et al., 2014;Bunge et al., 2002;Hazeltine et al., 2007;Nee et al., 2007;Wager et al., 2005).”

  • The Cake Gambling task is not expected to substantially modulate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is involved in planning and self-control.

    “For example, this task is not expected to modulate substantially the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is involved in planning and self-control (Bunge et al., 2002; Hare et al., 2010; Kable and Glimcher, 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
