认知心理学对人类行为控制的基本过程进行了不同范式的研究（如引发任务转换成本、负面启动效应或顺序冲突效应的范式）。这些范例中的每一个都产生了丰富的发现和见解。然而，这些范式的研究通常是单独和孤立地发展的，每个范式都被认为是针对行动控制的不同和可能独特的方面（例如，认知灵活性，抑制，认知控制）。然而，最近，情景刺激-反应（S-R）结合和检索被提出作为一个统一的框架，可以解释各种行动控制范式的影响（例如，Hommel, 2016； Schmidt等人，2016）。利用这种统一方法固有的巨大潜力，我们开发了一个框架，该框架结构和简化了大量可访问的动作控制数据，这也可以作为在动作控制及其他领域产生新假设和预测的基础。特别是，行动控制的框架可以用来描述其他研究领域（如知觉、注意、学习、记忆、动机、情感、语言）的相关心理现象，包括约束和检索机制。虽然扩大框架的范围是本研究股第二阶段的主要目标，但与此同时，必须界定和澄清框架的范围，并且必须将其对人类行为的独特贡献与在行动控制中也起作用的其他机制（例如，启动或抑制）分开。为了进一步理解该框架下的过程，神经生理学方法补充了行为范式。

Basic processes of human action control have been studied in Cognitive Psychology with different paradigms (e.g., paradigms eliciting task switching costs, negative priming effects, or sequential conflict effects). Each of these paradigms has generated a wealth of findings and insights. Research with these paradigms, however, has typically developed separately and in isolation, with each paradigm being assumed to address a different and potentially unique facet of action control (e.g., cognitive flexibility, inhibition, cognitive control). Recently, however, episodic Stimulus-Response (S-R) binding and retrieval have been proposed as a unitary framework that can explain effects across various action control paradigms (e.g., Hommel, 2016; Schmidt et al., 2016). Capitalizing on the enormous potential inherent in this unifying approach, we developed a framework that structures and simplifies the vast amount of accessible data on action control, and that also serves as a basis to generate novel hypotheses and predictions in the area of action control and beyond. In particular, the framework on action control can be used to describe related psychological phenomena from other research areas (e.g., perception, attention, learning, memory, motivation, emotion, language) in terms of binding and retrieval mechanisms. While extending the reach of the framework is a main goal of this Research Unit’s second phase, at the same time, the scope of the framework has to be defined and clarified and its unique contribution to human behavior has to be separated from other mechanisms that also play a role in action control (e.g., priming or inhibition). To further understand the processes underlying the framework a neurophysiological approach supplements behavioral paradigms.
