Individual differences in the dynamics of attention control were examined in two studies. Participants performed mouse tracker versions of Stroop (Studies 1 and 2) and flankers (Study 2), along with additional measures of attention control and working memory to better examine individual differences in how conflict resolution processes unfold over time. Attention control abilities were related to the amount of attraction to the incorrect response and the time to move toward the correct response on incongruent trials in the Stroop task. In the flanker task, attention control abilities were not related to the amount of attraction to the incorrect response but were related to the time to move toward the correct response on incongruent trials. Mouse tracker measures in both Stroop and flankers demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties and tended to load moderately on an attention control factor along with other attention control tasks. These results are consistent with the notion that conflict resolution processes in Stroop and flankers likely reflect both overlapping and distinct (i.e., restraining and constraining attention) processes that are related to broader attention control abilities.

两项研究考察了注意力控制动态过程中的个体差异。参与者完成了鼠标追踪版的斯特鲁普任务（研究1和研究2）和侧翼干扰任务（研究2），同时还进行了注意力控制和工作记忆的其他测量，以更好地研究冲突解决过程如何随时间展开的个体差异。在斯特鲁普任务中，注意力控制能力与对错误反应的吸引力大小以及在不一致试验中朝着正确反应移动的时间有关。在侧翼干扰任务中，注意力控制能力与对错误反应的吸引力大小无关，但与在不一致试验中朝着正确反应移动的时间有关。斯特鲁普任务和侧翼干扰任务中的鼠标追踪测量都显示出可接受的心理测量特性，并且与其他注意力控制任务一起，在注意力控制因素上的负荷适中。这些结果与以下观点一致：斯特鲁普任务和侧翼干扰任务中的冲突解决过程可能反映了与更广泛的注意力控制能力相关的重叠和不同（即抑制和约束注意力）的过程。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
