N450 is described as a valid event-related potential indicator of Stroop interference, but the true specific psychological meaning of the Stroop N450 remains obscure. In the present research, we first used a Chinese character incongruent-eligible task and manipulated different types of conflict to investigate whether Stroop N450 reflects stimulus conflict, response conflict or both. The results showed that, only the N450 in the incongruent-eligible condition was more negative than that of the incongruent-ineligible and neutral conditions in the frontal-central area; simultaneously, there was a left parietal-occipital N450 that successively weakened in the incongruent-eligible, incongruent-ineligible and neutral conditions. These results indicate that Stroop N450 reflects both stimulus conflict and response conflict.
N450 被描述为 Stroop 干扰的有效事件相关电位指标,但 Stroop N450 的真正特定心理意义仍然不清楚。在本研究中,我们首先使用汉字不一致-合格任务,并操纵不同类型的冲突,以调查 Stroop N450 是否反映刺激冲突、反应冲突或两者兼而有之。结果表明,只有在不一致-合格条件下的 N450 在额-中央区域比不一致-不合格和中性条件更负;同时,在不一致-合格、不一致-不合格和中性条件下,存在一个从左顶枕区逐渐减弱的 N450。这些结果表明,Stroop N450 反映了刺激冲突和反应冲突。
