"Practice makes perfect?" white matter microstructural characteristic predicts the degree of improvement in within-trial conflict processing across two weeks.

Several studies have investigated the trait-like characteristics of conflict processing at different levels. Our study extends these findings by reporting a practice-based improvement in within-trial conflict processing across two sessions. Eighty-three participants performed the same flanker task o...

      ab: Several studies have investigated the trait-like characteristics of conflict processing at different levels. Our study extends these findings by reporting a practice-based improvement in within-trial conflict processing across two sessions. Eighty-three participants performed the same flanker task on two occasions 2 weeks apart. A subset of 37 subjects also underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scanning the day before the first behavioral task. Despite the trait-like characteristics of conflict processing, within-trial conflict processing in the second behavioral session was significantly shorter than that in the first session, indicating a practice-based improvement in conflict processing. Furthermore, changes in within-trial conflict processing across the two sessions exhibited significant individual differences. Tract-based spatial statistics revealed that the improvement across two sessions was related to the axial diffusivity values in white matter regions, including the body and splenium of the corpus callosum, right superior and posterior corona radiate, and right superior longitudinal fasciculus. Subsequently, lasso regression with leave-one-out cross validation was used to assess the predictive ability of white matter microstructural characteristics in significant regions. The results showed that 61% of individual variability in the improvement in the within-trial conflict processing could be explained by variations in the axial diffusivity values in the four significant regions and the within-trial conflict processing in the first session. These results suggest that axonal morphology in the white tracts connecting conflict-related regions predicts the degree of within-trial conflict processing improvement across two sessions.
