Yes There are two ways in which interference can cause forgetting: 1. Only completed blocks that were immediately sent to our servers over an active internet connection were stored. The independent horse race model estimates the speed of inhibition (SSRT) based on both the stop performance and the Go RT distribution. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. No, Is the Subject Area "Operating systems" applicable to this article? These measures can be reliably estimated from only ~4 minutes of data (64 trials). In a regression of SSRT-Unprepared on age, gender, age-by-gender and three nuisance variables (see Methods), we observed 18–24 year old women are 9.97 ± 1.99 ms slower than men. No, Is the Subject Area "Schools" applicable to this article? Selectivity is better in the Prepared compared to Unprepared condition. We found that these data conform to assumptions of the widely used independent horse race model, which was used to estimate the SSRT in the Prepared and Unprepared conditions. This process then catches up with the Go process only if the stop was initiated far enough in advance of the Go response. Both forms of control rely on overlapping frontostriatal pathways known to deteriorate in healthy aging, an age-related decline that occurs at an accelerated rate in men compared to women. The ICC takes into account the degree of absolute agreement between values, such that for normalized data the ICC is equivalent to the correlation, whereas for non-normalized data (as used here) the ICC drops as absolute values deviate from one another. Yes For the benefit of the reader we further unpack leading Go RT (the fastest response on a trial) as a function of condition, age and gender in S1A Fig; and the variance in leading vs non-leading Go RT (‘non-leading’ refers to the second response in a trial) in S1B and S1C Fig. Preparation also improved the selectivity (S2D Fig; Unprepared–Prepared, 26.1 ± 1.3 ms). [12], estimated from the first 100 practice trials. per decade). This cognitive heterogeneity is surprising given the more rapid age-related neural decline consistently found in men compared to women [16–19,44], including in prefrontal regions critical for inhibitory control [11,12]. This left 22,098 out of a total of 29,740 participants (74%). Yes As in lab-based [55] and online [56] cognitive research here we assume the same sampling bias and additionally the cross-sectional approach could have affected the results (e.g. The stop trials were always ‘selective’, i.e. Here we use the intraclass correlation (ICC) to quantify the reliability of these measures as a function of the number of trials that are used in the estimation and the trial type.

Wrote the paper: PS RBR PZ RAA GL RJD. [57]), much as it does in all cross-sectional aging research. In summary, there were 4 types of trials: Unprepared go, Unprepared stop, Prepared go, and Prepared stop. One expression of executive control involves proactive preparation for future events, and this contrasts with stimulus driven reactive control exerted in response to events. Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. Confirming the first prediction, in stopFail trials (where the subject erroneously responds and thus fails to stop) the reaction times are on average faster than in Go trials, in both the Unprepared (A) and Prepared (B) condition. These three variables together determine the SSRT through the quantile method. White dots in A and B indicate population means. Note that the average SSRT is in the range of 340 to 400 ms, higher than the average values reported in the literature. Division of Psychiatry, University College London, Charles Bell House, 67–73 Riding House Street, London, W1W 7EJ, United Kingdom. The dataset presented here is publicly available for further research. We found that reactive control, operationalized as SSRT in the Unprepared condition, deteriorates with age, and this occurs faster in men than women. As expected, preparation (proactive control) improved the SSRT (S2C Fig; Unprepared—Prepared, 31.9 ± 1.1 ms improvement). (B) On 37.5% of trials one of the fruits turned brown in mid-flight, prompting the participant to quickly withhold their response only on that side. Similarly, proactive control increased with education (compared to GCSE, in percentage points: a-level, -1.6 ± 1.2; degree, -2.6 ± 1.1; postgrad, -3.3 ± 1.2). Indeed, for subjects who played more than once, the intraclass correlation (ICC) between the first and second play is below 0.4 for both SSRT and selectivity, which is classified as ‘poor’ (see Fig 2 [37]). Change in stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) when participants are provided with advance information about an upcoming trial, compared to when they are not, provides a measure of proactive control while SSRT in the absence of advance information provides a measure of reactive control. the amount by which inhibition is improved through preparation (difference between red and blue line). ‘Leading’ refers to the RT of the fastest response on each trial, and non-leading refers to the second response on the trial. The horse race model [24] assumes that a Stop process with fixed duration is set off as soon as the stop signal is presented. Unless noted otherwise, we performed all analyses on subjects that submitted 2 blocks or more to allow for reliable estimation of the SSRT (12,496 out of 22,098 participants played 2+ blocks, 57% [25]). We will come back to this point in the Discussion. In this study, SSRT-Unprepared is our measure of reactive control, and the percentage improvement between Unprepared and Prepared, i.e. No, PLOS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, #C2354500, based in San Francisco, California, US, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0140383, https://github.com/petersmittenaar/cogneuro/, http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22099-intraclass-correlation-coefficient—icc-, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2004.11.013. However, premeditation, one domain of trait impulsivity, was associated with worse proactive control in the gambling group. Participants that indicated to be under 18 years old were excluded from the experiment, though they could still play the games. On Prepared trials one of the fruits glowed, indicating that only that fruit could turn bad. Confirming the second prediction, the later the stop-signal was presented (i.e. Reliability increases as more blocks are used for estimation. Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, 17 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom, Affiliation The SSRT can be calculated for the Unprepared and Prepared condition separately. A single trial consisted of the fruits hanging at the top of the screen for 1–3 s (uniformly distributed), followed by the fruits falling down the vertical axis of the screen. All error bars indicate 95% CI. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0140383.g001. Four groups of twenty isopods (Porcellio scaber L.) were given 40 right turns and four groups were given 20 right turns in square mazes 1, 1.5, 2.5, and 4 cm. However, we found no evidence for an improvement in SSRT in app players that played multiple blocks (data not shown). For analyses that included education we excluded participants 18–24 years old as a large proportion might not yet have finished their education. e0140383. The y-axis represents the improvement in SSRT between Unprepared and Prepared as a percentage of SSRT-Unprepared, such that more negative values indicate greater benefit of preparation on the speed of inhibition.

We excluded 18 subjects whose proactive control was larger than 100% or smaller than -100% as outliers. No, Is the Subject Area "Age groups" applicable to this article? due to the inclusion of various other regressors (Table 2). Conceived and designed the experiments: PS RBR PZ RAA HB RJD. 640 ms). This might happen 1) if the Go process happened to be slow on that trial and/or 2) if the stop-signal was presented early. Education is often controlled for (e.g. All trials types were fully counterbalanced over events on the left and right side of the screen.
