Behavioral Evidence for Conflict Priming

& Conflict-related cognitive processes are critical for adapt-ing to sudden environmental changes that confront the in-dividual with inconsistent or ambiguous information. Thus, these processes play a crucial role to cope with daily life. Gen-erally, conflicts tend to accumulate especially in complex and threatening situations. Therefore, the question arises how conflict-related cognitive processes are modulated by the close succession of conflicts. In the present study, we investigated the effect of interactions between different types of conflict on performance as well as on electrophysiological parameters. A task-irrelevant auditory stimulus and a task-relevant visual stim-ulus were presented successively. The auditory stimulus con-sisted of a standard or deviant tone, followed by a congruent or incongruent Stroop stimulus. After standard prestimuli, per
