Cognitive control in the posterior frontolateral cortex: evidence from common activations in task coordination, interference control, and working memory (2004, background): “A vast number of behavioral studies (for review, see MacLeod, 1991) and several imaging studies have applied the Stroop task (e.g., see Fan et al., 2003; Mead et al., 2002; Milham et al., 2001; Zysset et al., 2001).”
Separate conflict-specific cognitive control mechanisms in the human brain (2007, result): “The factorial nature of our design furthermore allowed us to directly assess differential neural activation involved in resolving stimulus- versus response-related conflict, which had not been possible in previous studies (Peterson et al., 2002; Fan et al., 2003; Liu et al., 2004).”
Effects of motivation on reward and attentional networks: an fMRI study (2012, background): “Brain regions involved in the processing of rewards and punishment include ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ACC, and DLPFC among others (Spielberg et al. 2012).”
Activation of the amygdala and anterior cingulate during nonconscious processing of sad versus happy faces (2004, background): “The anterior cingulate gyrus appears to be involved in a wide range of cognitive processes, including directed attention (Faw, 2003), conflict monitoring ( Fan et al., 2003 ), working memory (Osaka et al., 2003), self-monitoring (Carter et al., 2001), as well as emotional modulation and control (Har”
The activation of attentional networks (2005, background): “Although exactly how and where these genes influence dopamine release is not clear, alleles of the DRD4 and MAOA gene did show differential activation of the anterior cingulate in a study using fMRI (Fan et al., 2003b).”
The Development of Executive Attention: Contributions to the Emergence of Self-Regulation (2005, background): “In a third study, Fan, Fossella, Sommer, and Posner (2003) showed that these two genes were also related to differences in brain activation within the anterior cingulate gyrus while performing a conflict task.”
Contributions of Attentional Control to Socioemotional and Academic Development (2010, background): “As with the Stroop task, resolving interference from distracting incongruent stimulation delays reaction times and activates the dorsal portion of the ACC together with other regions of the lateral prefrontal cortex (Botvinick, Nystrom, Fissell, Carter, & Cohen, 1999; Fan et al., 2003).”
Bilingual Minds (2009, methodology): “Fan et al. (2003) contrasted performance on a flanker task, a Simon task, and a manual version of the Stroop task in which individuals pressed one of four buttons corresponding to the font color of a presented word.”
Separating semantic conflict and response conflict in the Stroop task: A functional MRI study (2005, background): “…anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) as being central to overcoming interference (Banich et al., 2000a,b; Barch et al., 2001; Bush et al., 1998; Carter et al., 1995, 2000; Fan et al., 2003; MacDonald et al., 2000; Milham et al., 2001, 2003; Pardo et al., 1990).”
