When reading papers, I was confused about the relationship between Conflict Control and Inhibitory Control in psychology. From my perspective, Conflict Control conclude Inhibitory Control, and Inhibitory contorl have two components:
①Response Inhibition: Stimulus–Response- (‘SR-’) conflict
②Attentional Inhibition: Stimulus–Stimulus- (‘SS-’) conflict
They all share the familiar tasks and brain regions.
Although these tow concepts is familiar, I think there are some difference:
Conflict Conrtol focus on the possess how to control conflict, such as conflict resolution, conflict adaptation effect (trail by trail,CC-CI-II-IC).
Inhibitory contorl focus on average RT and ACC between congruent and incongruent trails.It's more likely a function while conflict control like a phenomenon.
So my question is ①What is the relationship between Conflict Control and Inhibitory Control？ and ②Could we simply mixed Conflict Control and Inhibitory Control together?③Is conflict control = cognitive control or executive function?
Conflict control delineates to the detection and resolution of conflict between competing stimuli or responses whereas inhibitory control depicts the suppression or inhibition of prepotent or automatic stimuli or responses that are irrelevant to the current goal. The nexus between Conflict Control and Inhibitory Control is not fully clear, and diverse models have proposed different views on how they are related. Whereas some models postulate that conflict control and inhibitory control are independent constructs that rely on different neural mechanisms, other models asserts that they are closely related or even overlapping constructs that share common neural substrates.
