Congruency sequence effects and cognitive control (2007, methodology): “On the other hand, Wuhr (2005) designed a version of the Simon task that introduced four possible stimulus positions (the upper and lower right and left corgen et al.’s study has further constrained this interpretation by suggesting that, despite the emphasis that the conflictmonitoring model places”
A midline dissociation between error-processing and response-conflict monitoring (2003, background): “Conflict-related activations along the midline have been observed to occur only when the conflict is at the level of competing motor responses and not at the level of conflictual stimulus identification ( van Veen et al., 2001 ).”
The anterior cingulate as a conflict monitor: fMRI and ERP studies. (2002, methodology): “While RTs indeed showed both stimulus and response conflict (CO< SI <RI), comparing brain activity elicited by these three trial types revealed that the ACC did not distinguish between the CO and SI stimuli [12].”
Common and distinct neural substrates of attentional control in an integrated Simon and spatial Stroop task as assessed by event-related fMRI (2004, background): “Many tasks requiring response selection activate this area (Banich et al., 2001; Dassonville et al., 2001; Dove et al., 2000), as do tasks requiring other types of central control such as working memory (LaBar et al., 1999) and problem solving and reasoning (Acuna et al., 2002; Elliott and Dolan, 19”
Performance Monitoring in the Anterior Cingulate is Not All Error Related: Expectancy Deviation and the Representation of Action-Outcome Associations (2007, background): “According to conflict-monitoring theory, conflict at the response level triggers the ERN ( Yeung et al., 2004; van Veen, Cohen, Botvinick, Stenger, & Carter, 2001 ), whereas according to reinforcement-learning theory, reward-prediction errors are the trigger to the response-elicited ERN and the FRN”
Bridging emotion theory and neurobiology through dynamic systems modeling (2005, background): “Its functions include monitoring and evaluating potential actions, monitoring and resolving conflicts, error detection, and so forth (Carter et al. 2000; Gehring et al. 1993; van Veen et al. 2001).”
Dissociable Contributions of Prefrontal and Parietal Cortices to Response Selection (2002, neutral): “This pattern of results is broadly consistent with that observed using a similar letter flanker paradigm (Van Veen et al., 2001).”
Rethinking Feelings: An fMRI Study of the Cognitive Regulation of Emotion (2002, background): “In a variety of tasks involving response conflict (Barch et al., 2001; van Veen, Cohen, Botvinick, Stenger, & Carter, 2001; Phelps, Hyder, Blamire, & Shulman, 1997) or overriding prepotent response tendencies (Carter et al., 2000; Peterson et al., 1999), these functions have been associated with t”
Action sets and decisions in the medial frontal cortex. (2004, background): “Unlike lateral PFC, ACC is activated only when there is a change in response set or when there is conflict between possible responses but it is not active when only stimulus selection is at issue [ 20 ,21].”
The Timing of Action-Monitoring Processes in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (2002, methodology): “Using event-related fMRI, we have shown that the ACC is only activated to RI stimuli, even when controlling for reaction time (RT) differences, which suggests that the ACC is selectively responsive to conflict occurring at later or response-related levels of processing ( van Veen et al., 2001 ).”
