ABSTRACT
Exploring the mechanisms of cognitive control is central to understanding how we our behaviour. These can be studied in conflict paradigms, which require inhibition irrelevant responses perform task. It has been suggested that these tasks, detection enhances resulting improved resolution subsequent trials. If this case, then so-called congruency sequence effect expected occur cross-domain tasks. Previous research on domain-generality presented inconsistent results. In study, provide a multi-site replication three previous experiments Kan et al. (Kan IP, Teubner-Rhodes S, Drummey AB, Nutile L, Krupa Novick JM 2013 Cognition129, 637–651) test between very different domains: from syntactic non-syntactic domain (Experiment 1), and perceptual verbal (Experiments 2 3). Despite all efforts, found only partial support for claims original study. With single exception, could not replicate findings; data remained inconclusive or went against theoretical hypothesis. We discuss compatibility results with alternative frameworks.
