Selecting Among Competing Alternatives: Selection and Retrieval in the Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Open accessAbstract
It has been widely argued that the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) is involved in the control of retrieval of information from long-term memory. Recent claims that the LIFG is involved in selecting among semantic alternatives have been challenged on the grounds that the manipulation of selection demands may have been confounded with controlled retrieval. The current study used an event-related functional magnetic resonance paradigm to re-examine the possibility that LIFG activation is involved in selection processes. In order to minimize potential confounding effects of controlled retrieval, we used an automatic retrieval task (picture naming) and held retrieval demands constant, while varying selection demands by way of competitor priming from earlier semantically related trials. We found significant activation in LIFG as a function of increased selection demands; activation centred on two peaks, one in anterior LIFG and a second more superior and posterior region. These data support the view that LIFG plays a role in selection among semantic information, even in the absence of controlled retrieval processes.

HRT's competing response includes engagement in different motor actions, thereby activating different brain areas and cognitive structures.
“Whilst both of these forms of competing response overlap functionally, in terms of depending on inhibitory brain mechanisms [45], the former relies on pure suppression (i.e. no response taking place), while the latter includes engagement in different motor actions , thereby activating different brain areas and cognitive structures [46 -51]”

The Results > Activations and Discussion (page unavailable) report greater activation in several left inferior frontal gyrus regions when participants selected among competing picture names. They do not examine habit reversal training (HRT) or show that engaging in different motor actions activates different brain areas and cognitive structures. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
