Flanker Model
This is the code for simulating conflict-monitoring and response-monitoring networks in the Eriksen flanker task (Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974) described in Yeung, Botvinick, & Cohen (2004) and Steinhauser, Maier, & Hübner (2008).
The main files are:
-
experiment.R - runs the simulations
-
first.R - governs the initialization
-
cycle.R - governs the network update
-
generate_outputs.R - generate outputs from the simulations results (after they are saved in outputs folder)
-
summaries_and_plots.Rmd - template for outputs
Simulated data along with descriptive statistics and plots are saved in "outputs" folder.
The detailed description of the networks can be found in:
