Figure 1. Go/No-Go task.

Figure 1

On this version of the Go/No-Go task, participants were required to respond with a button press whenever specific target letters (“x” and “y”) were presented, but were required to withhold their response whenever nonalternating target letters were presented (“x” followed by “x” or “y followed by “y”). Response to targets (“x” or “y” alternating) constituted the “Go” condition of this task whereas the presentation of “lure” letters to which a prepotent response has been practiced but becomes inappropriate constituted the “No-Go” condition. There were 5 more times as many “No-Go” trials as “Go” trials to maintain prepotent responding.
