Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The flanker task is a test of selective attention and response inhibition that activates the anterior cingulate cortex and pre-supplementary motor cortex [37] and provides a more efficient and reliable measure of ERN amplitude than the Stroop or Go/NoGo tasks [15, 38].”
From Altered Error Monitoring and Decreased Flanker Task Accuracy in Pediatric Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (2026) · cites this paper as [37]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“and is most commonly measured with executive function and inhibition tasks such as the Eriksen flanker task (Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974).”
From Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with increased engagement of frontal brain regions across multiple event-related potentials (2023) · cites this paper as Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974
In the citing paper
“a well-validated version of the classical Eriksen flanker task (35), implemented as part of the National Institute of Health toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (36, 37)”
From Multimodal imaging of the self-regulating developing brain (2012) · cites this paper as [35]
In the citing paper
“Also consistent with the spatially limited scope of attentional focus, previous research has found that flanker interference decreases with increasing distance from the central target, despite response competition demands remaining constant (39, 40).”
From Positive affect increases the breadth of attentional selection (2007) · cites this paper as [39]

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.
