Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cognitive control is the key process in decision making and in the optimization of our behavior in our environment. Withholding and selecting the most appropriate action forms the basis of our interaction in our physical and social environment (both cooperative and competitive). Several studies delineated the fundamentals of cognitive control and the associated neural correlates. In particular, cognitive control operates through two phases—proactive and reactive modes—depending on the time the action is withheld. The proactive process is a type of control intervening before event occurrence, whereas the reactive process it is thought to be a “cut-trigger”, which stops an already-initiated motor response. Although it is well known that both processes play a fundamental role in gaining successful cognitive control, the way in which these processes intervene during a human interaction with different agents (humans or non-humans) in different environments (natural or virtual) is still a matter of debate.
This Special Issue aims to explore the contribution of cognitive control from different perspectives, with a particular focus on proactive and reactive processes in different types of environments and social interactions. We welcome theoretical and/or empirical contributions that expand our knowledge of cognitive control and decision making in physical and virtual environments with different agents (such as human–human or human–robot) of interaction.
