Cognitive control plays a crucial role in adaptive behavior and achieving one’s goals. At the same time, in practice, mechanisms of cognitive control never operate alone; they are utilized together with other cognitive functions. From behavioral dual-task studies, there is evidence showing different relationships between working memory and speeded conflict task performance when given together, depending on task specifics and stimuli characteristics (Oberauer, 2019; Moss et al., 2020; Muhmenthaler et al., 2023). Additionally, there is data reporting working memory performance impairment specifically related to errors committed in speeded conflict tasks (Wessel et al., 2022). This work is aimed to investigate relationships between cognitive control processes, such as performance monitoring and conflict processing, and working memory on a behavioral level.
This project employs two behavioral experiments to explore the interactions between working memory, error processing, and conflict resolution. Both experiments utilized a combined working memory conflict task.
