Dissociable processes of cognitive control during error and non-error conflicts: a study of the stop signal task.
<h4>Background</h4>Conflict detection and subsequent behavioral adjustment are critical to daily life, and how this process is controlled has been increasingly of interest. A medial cortical region which includes the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been theorized to act as a conflict...

<h4>Background</h4>Conflict detection and subsequent behavioral adjustment are critical to daily life, and how this process is controlled has been increasingly of interest.

This conflict monitoring hypothesis was supported by many imaging studies of the Stroop task, with a focus on non-error processes. Here we sought to examine whether this circuit could be generalized to the stop signal task (SST), another behavioral paradigm widely used to study cognitive control.
