Excerpt

“Cognitive conflicts” are said to occur when several incompatible action tendencies or motivations co-exist in our cognitive system. The processing problems arising from cognitive conflicts are often assumed to reflect basic principles of the cognitive architecture. “Cognitive control” comes into play whenever conflicts need to be resolved to guarantee flawless behavior; how exactly cognitive conflicts are resolved is one of the major challenges that current models of cognitive control are facing. …
