Stop** ability in younger and older adults: Behavioral and event-related potential
This study examines age-related differences in inhibitory control as measured by stop-signal performance. The participants were 24 adults aged 20–30 years and 24 older adults aged 61–76 years. The task blocks ...

Inhibiting prepotent responses in the elderly: Distraction and disinhibition
In this study, we aimed to examine whether older adults, relative to younger adults, suffer from generic inhibition, selective inhibition, and/or distraction deficits, as assessed by behavioral and electrophys...

At will or not at will: Electrophysiological correlates of preparation for voluntary and instructed task-switching paradigms
The present study investigated whether the advanced reconfiguration processes of the voluntary switching (VTS) paradigm were different from those of the instructed task switching (ITS) paradigm by examining ev...

When the voluntary mind meets the irresistible event: Stimulus–response correspondence effects on task selection during voluntary task switching
In the present study, we investigated how task selection is biased by inherent stimulus characteristics in the voluntary task-switching paradigm. We used digits as the task stimuli, since they may automaticall...

Loving-kindness brings loving-kindness: The impact of Buddhism on cognitive self–other integration
Common wisdom has it that Buddhism enhances compassion and self–other integration. We put this assumption to empirical test by comparing practicing Taiwanese Buddhists with well-matched atheists. Buddhists sho...

“Smart inhibition”: electrophysiological evidence for the suppression of conflict-generating task rules during task switching
A major challenge for task switching is maintaining a balance between high task readiness and effectively ignoring irrelevant task rules. This calls for finely tuned inhibition that targets only the source of ...

Parallel central processing between tasks: Evidence from lateralized readiness potentials
The present dual-task study used lateralized readiness potentials (LRPs) and behavioral measures to determine whether response activation for Task 1 and Task 2 can occur in parallel. We also examined whether t...
