Fig. 5.
A schematic representation of ‘capacity sharing’ between go processing in the primary task and signal processing. The top panel depicts go processing on no-signal trials; the middle panel depicts go and signal processing in the consistent-mapping group; and the bottom panel depicts go and signal processing in the varied-mapping group. Go processing is triggered by the presentation if the go stimulus; signal processing is triggered by the presentation of the signal. On valid-signal trials, the primary-task response is inhibited when the stop process finished. For simplicity, we did not depict the execution components of the change response. RT = reaction time; sr RT = signal–respond RT; ivs RT = invalid-signal RT.
