In perceptual-motor tasks, the influence of flankers can be modified. Their influence can increase when they are more often congruent with the target and decrease when they are more often incongruent. The black horizontal string of shapes was presented on a white background. The string contained: two flanker arrows in the middle, the target arrow on the left (or right) and a square on the right (or left). In one half of trials the target was more often congruent (arrow pointing in the same direction as flankers) when it was presented on the left, in the second it was more often congruent when it appeared on the right. Our results showed that the reaction time for incongruent trials was shorter when the target was presented on the side with predominance of incongruent targets than for incongruent trials with target presentation on the side with predominance of congruent targets. Reactions were faster for congruent than for incongruent trials in both cases of predominance. Related results were observed in the modulation of N2PC amplitude. The influence of flankers can be modified by changing the proportion of congruent targets in the selected location.
