Abstract
There is ongoing debate about whether control-related processing related to cognitive conflict and emotional conflict operate independently. This study manipulated the proportion of congruent to incongruent trials to determine the domain specificity or generality of these two types of conflict control. Two experiments were conducted in which spatial Simon conflict was combined with emotional face-word conflict. In Experiment 1, the proportion congruency (PC) of spatial conflict was manipulated, and in Experiment 2, the PC of emotional conflict was manipulated. The aim was to determine whether control-related processes elicited by cognitive or emotional conflict show domain-specific (within cognitive or within emotional control-related effects) or domain-general effects, where control elicited by cognitive conflict benefits emotional control processes and vice versa. Behavioral findings indicated that spatial and emotional conflict exhibited within-domain PC effects. For event-related brain potential (ERP) activity, PC effects were primarily reflected in a late slow potential, rather than an early negativity, suggesting that control-related adjustments impacted conflict resolution rather than conflict detection. Furthermore, the results did not show evidence of PC effects across domains for behavioral or ERP data, indicating that proactive control elicited by PC manipulation does not transfer across cognitive and emotional conflict. This study supports the modular nature of proactive control for processes related to cognitive and emotional control.
关于与认知冲突和情绪冲突相关的控制处理是否独立运作的争论一直存在。本研究操纵了一致与不一致试验的比例,以确定这两种冲突控制的领域特异性或普遍性。本研究进行了两项实验,将空间西蒙冲突与情绪面孔-词语冲突结合起来。在实验 1 中,操纵了空间冲突的一致性比例(PC);在实验 2 中,操纵了情感冲突的一致性比例。实验的目的是确定认知冲突或情绪冲突所引发的控制相关过程是表现出领域特异性(认知或情绪控制相关效应)还是领域一般性效应,即认知冲突所引发的控制有益于情绪控制过程,反之亦然。行为研究结果表明,空间冲突和情绪冲突表现出领域内的 PC 效应。在与事件相关的脑电位(ERP)活动中,PC效应主要反映在晚期慢电位上,而不是早期负性上,这表明与控制相关的调整会影响冲突的解决,而不是冲突的发现。此外,在行为或 ERP 数据方面,研究结果均未显示出跨领域的 PC 效应,这表明 PC 操作所引发的主动控制并不会在认知和情绪冲突中转移。本研究支持主动控制对认知和情绪控制相关过程的模块化性质。
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
