{"pk":26337,"title":"Conflict-based regulation of control in language production","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Is language production dynamically regulated by cognitive\ncontrol? If so, how domain-general is this process? In two\nexperiments, we studied conflict adaptation, or conflict-driven\nadjustments of control, in two paradigms: Picture-Word\nInterference (PWI), which induces linguistic conflict, and\nPrime-Probe (PP), which induces visuospatial conflict. Exp. 1\ntested within-task conflict adaptation separately in PWI and\nPP. Exp. 2 tested cross-task adaptation by alternating the two\ntasks in a task-switching paradigm. We found reliable within-\ntask conflict adaptation in both PWI and PP, but neither an\nanalysis of individual differences (Exp. 1), nor a direct\nmanipulation of between-task conflict (Exp. 2) revealed cross-\ntask adaptation. We further report a robust 2-back within-task\nadaptation in Exp. 2 to refute alternative accounts of null cross-\ntask adaptation. These findings support models of dynamic,\ntop-down control in language production that posit at least\nsome degree of domain-specificity.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"language production; cognitive control; domain-\ngenerality; conflict adaptation; picture-word interference"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/59h5p1m1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"","last_name":"Freund","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""},{"first_name":"Barry","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gordon","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""},{"first_name":"Nazbanou","middle_name":"","last_name":"Nozari","name_suffix":"","institution":"Johns Hopkins University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26337/galley/15973/download/"}]}
