The planned 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 will be applied to increase our understanding of the triggering conditions regarding kind and degree of the adjustment processes. The planned program extends previous research goals and links to the work of the first period by, on the one hand, employing methods approved during that period, and, on the other, aiming at the clarification of novel questions which emerged in the course of our previous work.
