Short-term aftereffects of response inhibition: Repetition priming or between-trial control adjustments?
Abstract
Repetition priming and between-trial control adjustments after successful and unsuccessful response inhibition were studied in the stop-signal paradigm. In 5 experiments, the authors demonstrated that response latencies increased after successful inhibition compared with trials that followed no-signal trials. However, this effect was found only when the stimulus (Experiments 1A-4) or stimulus category (Experiment 3) was repeated. Slightly different results were found after trials on which the response inhibition failed. In Experiments 1A, 2, and 4, response latencies increased after unsuccessful inhibition trials compared with after no-inhibition trials, and this happened whether or not the stimulus repeated. Based on these results, we suggest that the aftereffects of successful response inhibition are primarily due to repetition priming, although there was evidence for between-trial control adjustments when inhibition failed.

Other studies show that go RT increases after successful stopping, which is not consistent with error correction but suggests a shift in priority toward the stop task after a stop signal.

Many studies indicate that people also alter response strategies reactively after stop-signal trials.
“Many studies suggest that subjects also change response strategies reactively after stop-signal trials [8–11].”

Some studies show that go RT increases after unsuccessful inhibition, similar to post-error slowing in choice reaction tasks.
“Some show that go RT increases after unsuccessful inhibition, reminiscent of the post-error slowing observed in choice reaction tasks.”
From Response inhibition in the stop-signal paradigm (2008) · cites this paper as [8]
Recent studies show that stimulus repetition matters: after successful stopping, responding is typically slower when the stop-trial stimulus repeats, as if the stimulus became linked with stopping and retrieval of that link impaired go performance.
“Recent studies show that stimulus repetition may be a critical variable: responding after successful stopping is typical slower when the stimulus from the stop trial is repeated, as if the stimulus was associated with stopping, and retrieval of that association impaired go performance [8].”

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.
