Title: An ERP study of cognitive architecture and the insertion of mental processes: Donders revisited.
Authors: Vidal, Franck (AUTHOR), Burle, Boris (AUTHOR), Grapperon, Jacques (AUTHOR), Hasbroucq, Thierry (AUTHOR)
Source: Psychophysiology. Sep2011, Vol. 48 Issue 9, p1242-1251. 10p. 1 Diagram, 5 Graphs.
Subjects: Reaction time, Tasks, Evoked potentials (Electrophysiology), Laplacian operator, Cognition, Sensorimotor integration
Abstract: In his seminal paper, Donders proposed that Choice reaction time (RT) tasks differ from Go/No-go RT tasks only by the insertion of a response decision operation. We evaluated this possibility by comparing the time course of Laplacian-transformed ERPs, recorded over the primary (M1s) and supplementary motor areas (SMAs) in a Choice and in a Go/No-go task. Laplacian-transformed ERPs showed that a component that develops over the SMAs during the RT of Choice tasks vanishes in our Go/No-go task. This indicates that a process, absent in the Go/No-go task, was 'inserted' in the Choice task. The Choice versus Go/No-go manipulation also modified the motor command: the activity recorded over M1s and the delay separating EMG onset from response completion depended on the nature of the task. This indicates that, although a process was inserted in the Choice task, it was not 'purely' inserted, contrary to Donders' initial assumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
