It is known that the increase of intensity on a warning signal (WS) usually decreases reaction times to targets and occasionally is accompanied by a startle reflex reaction that influences the speediness of response execution. In a simple detection task (Experiment 1), a detection task with catch trials (Experiment 2) and a Go-NoGo discrimination t...
Would it be helpful to inform a driver about when a conflicting traffic situation is going to occur? We tested whether temporal orienting of attention could enhance executive control to select among conflicting stimuli and responses. Temporal orienting was induced by presenting explicit cues predicting the most probable interval for target onset, w...
Previous studies have reported increased interference when a task-irrelevant acoustic warning signal preceded the target presentation in cognitive tasks. However, the alerting-congruence interaction was mostly observed for tasks measuring Flanker and Simon interferences but not for Stroop conflict. These findings led to the assumption that warning...
An alerting signal (AS) is an abrupt stimulation that precedes the presentation of a to-be-responded target, generally leading to shorter reaction times (RT). In the case of acoustic AS, higher intensities are also associated with faster RT (Jaskowsky, Rybarczyk, & Jaroszyk, 1994; Miller, Franz, & Ulrich, 1999). Many studies tried to clarify the re...
