Controlling the Go / No-Go decision threshold in the striatum

Existence and Control of Go/No-Go Decision Transition Threshold in the Striatum

A typical Go/No-Go decision is suggested to be implemented in the brain via the activation of the direct or indirect pathway in the basal ganglia. Medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum, receiving input from cortex and projecting to the direct and indirect pathways express D1 and D2 type dopamine receptors, respectively. Recently, it has become clear that the two types of MSNs markedly dif...

The Go/no-go Association Task

Theory i s constrained by the quality and versatility of measurement tools. As such, the development of techniques for measurement is critical to the successful development of theory. This paper presents a technique -the GoINo-go Association Task (GNAT) that joins a family of existing techniques for measuring implicit social cognition generally, with a focus on attitude (evaluation). To expand ...

Is the go/no-go lexical decision task an alternative to the yes/no lexical decision task?

In the go/no-go lexical decision task (LDT), participants are instructed to respond as quickly as they can when a word is presented and not to respond if a nonword is presented. By minimizing part of the response selection process in the experimental task, the impact of response decision time on the obtained lexical decision time is probably reduced relative to the standard yes/no LDT (Gordon, ...

Decision Modeling Individual Differences in the Go/No-Go Task With a Diffusion Model

Modeling Response Times in the Go/No-Go Discrimination Task

The work presented here uses a simple stochastic model as a cognitive psychometric tool for analyzing response time data in the Go/No-Go Discrimination task with motivationally distinct conditions. The parameters of the model inform us of underlying cognitive mechanisms because they have an established psychological meaning and allow us to quantify a subjects ability and response caution. Using...
