The research program aims at the specification of the adjustment of information processing evoked by (recently or frequently) experienced or explicitly expected conflicts in S-R translation. A distinction is made regarding adjustment at early, sensory-perceptual, and later processing stages as well as regarding quantitative (changes of attentional weightings) and qualitative (reconfiguration of S-R activation mappings, postponement of processing) forms of adjustment. A methodological approach optimized for this distinction, involving analyses of both behavioral and electrophysiological data is applied to increase our understanding of the triggering conditions regarding kind and degree of the adjustment processes.
