Between Persistence and Flexibility: The Yin and Yang of Action Control (2015, background): “From a more functional point of view, Goschke and colleagues (Goschke, 2003; Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004) have pointed out that cognitive control often faces control dilemmas that are binary in nature, with the choice between maintenance (or persistence) and flexibility being a crucial one.”
Explaining the many varieties of working memory variation: Dual mechanisms of cognitive control. (2007, background): “Instead, reliance on reactive, rather than proactive control mechanisms, allows for an optimization of the so-called "control dilemma" (Goschke, 2003), by allowing habits, skills, and procedures to be learned while still enabling the system to override these forces if necessary.”
How positive affect modulates cognitive control: reduced perseveration at the cost of increased distractibility. (2004, unknown): “On a more general theoretical level, the research reported in this article is consistent with the assumption that stable maintenance and flexible switching impose antagonistic constraints on cognitive control processes (Goschke, 1996, 2003).”
