How do visual stimuli affect flanker task?

Visual stimuli can have a significant impact on the performance of the flanker task, a common cognitive test used in research. In the flanker task, participants are asked to focus on a target stimulus while ignoring distracting stimuli presented on either side. The presence of congruent or incongruent flankers can affect reaction time and accuracy. Studies have also shown that the size, shape, and position of the flankers can influence task performance. Visual stimuli can interfere with attentional processes necessary for the successful completion of the flanker task, making it challenging to accurately assess cognitive abilities.
