The Computational and Neural Basis of Cognitive Control: Charted Territory and New Frontiers (2014, methodology): “” If, as we have recently proposed, control is costly (see Botvinick, 2007a, b; Kool et al., 2010; McGuire & Botvinick, 2010), then it makes sense to automatize the task that occurs most frequently, as this minimizes the frequency with which control will be demanded. In this sense, the association b”
Neurophysiology of performance monitoring and adaptive behavior. (2014, background): “It has great power to make predictions for speeded reaction time tasks involving interference, but it might need to be modified or extended to cover other domains of performance monitoring and cognitive control (45).”
Pupil dilation as an index of effort in cognitive control tasks: A review (2018, background): “…(e.g., Larsen, Norris, & Cacioppo, 2003) and thus might reflect the anxiety associated with task difficulty (uncertainty) and/or the intrinsic cost of cognitive control and effort exertion (Botvinick, 2007; Dreisbach & Fischer, 2016; Inzlicht, Bartholow, & Hirsh, 2015; van Steenbergen, 2015).”
An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance (2013, positive): “The direction of the changes in prefrontal activity and performance differ from our proposal, although Botvinick (2007) has already taken the first steps to incorporate both kinds of adjustments in one computational model.”
The expected value of control: An integrative theory of anterior cingulate cortex function (2013, positive): “Conflict, in addition to its role in signaling task difficulty, may itself constitute an aversive outcome (Botvinick, 2007; Fritz and Dreisbach, 2013; Hirsh et al., 2012).”
Differences in Brain Activation between Novices and Experts in Science during a Task Involving a Common Misconception in Electricity. (2014, methodology): “…explanation is that differences in brain activation between experts and novices might be due not only to inhibition, but also to error detection and conflict monitoring mechanisms, which can involve similar brain areas as inhibition, such as the ACC and the prefrontal cortex (Botvinick, 2007).”
Connectivity-Based Parcellation of Human Cingulate Cortex and Its Relation to Functional Specialization (2009, positive): “The functional metaanalysis implicated all of this region in motor control and suggested the most anterior part monitors action errors and conflict (Botvinick, 2007) and is important for reinforcement-guided action selection (Rushworth et al.”
Conflicts as Aversive Signals for Control Adaptation (2015, background): “We therefore suggest an alternative framework that emphasizes the aversive nature of conflicts as the driving force (cf. Botvinick, 2007).”
