There is accumulating evidence that distinct forms of domain-general inhibition underlie the selection of lexical candidates from among co-activated representations in single-word production. It is less clear whether similar control processes are engaged in the resolution of syntactic conflict in sentence production. This study assessed the relative contribution of three types of inhibitory control operating at different stages of information processing to syntactic interference resolution in an active-passive voice production task. Inhibition of response execution (the anti-saccade effect) and resolution of representational conflict (the flanker effect) were related to the occurrence of repairs and sentence onset latencies in passive voice trials. The results suggest not only that general-purpose mechanisms may be in place that resolve conflict regardless of whether it stems from syntactic or non-syntactic (non-verbal) representations, but also that they operate at dissociable processing stages.

抑制控制的许多方面及其在句法选择中的作用

越来越多的证据表明，不同形式的域一般抑制是从单词生成中的共同激活表征中选择候选词汇的基础。目前尚不清楚类似的控制过程是否参与解决句子生成中的句法冲突。本研究评估了在主动-被动语音生成任务中，在信息处理的不同阶段运行的三种抑制控制对句法干扰解决的相对贡献。被动语态试验中，反应执行的抑制（反眼跳效应）和表征冲突的解决（侧翼效应）与修复的发生和句子开始延迟有关。
