This modulation has been interpreted as a strategic reconfiguration of cognitive control, depending on the amount of conflict encountered on the very last trial, and occurring unconditionally whenever there is time to produce it (Notebaert et al.,2006). Jiménez and Méndez (2013) arranged a 4-choice Stroop task with a response-to-stimulus interval (RSI) of 0 ms, and they found that, under these conditions, congruency effects may become dissociated from the explicit expectancies assessed over analogous, but independent, trials. The present study generalizes this phenomenon to a condition with larger RSI, and it shows that participants’ performance does not rely on expectancies unless the task includes a specific requirement to generate and report on these expectancies. The results are interpreted as providing new insights with respect to the status of conflict adaptation effectsengAtribución 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Conflictad aptationStrooptaskExpectanciesCongruency sequence effectCognitive controlReactive controlMaterias::Investigación::61 Psicologíajournal article10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01042open access
