Psychophysiological measures such as the lateralized
readiness potential (LRP) have been used to study information
processing in the Eriksen flankers task. The data provided
by these measures are consistent with a continuous flow
theory, which proposes that the output of stimulus evaluation
is continuously available to the response channels. Cohen
et al. (1992) realized this theory in a connectionist model
and showed that its behavior corresponded to that of human
subjects in the flankers task. We report here a modification
of the model and an analysis of the degree to which simulated
LRPs (based on the activation functions of the response
units of the model) resemble the actual LRPs of human subjects
in the same task. Across a variety of different experimental
conditions and outcomes, there was a marked correspondence
between the simulated and actual LRPs. These observations
strengthen the propriety of the connectionist model and
of the continuous flow theory on which it is based.
