The congruency sequence effect (CSE) refers to the finding that the effect of cognitive conflict is smaller following conflicting, incongruent trials than after non-conflicting, congruent trials in conflict tasks, such as the Stroop, Simon, and flanker tasks. This is typically interpreted as an upregulation of cognitive control in response to conflict. Weissman, Jiang, & Egner (2014) investigated whether the CSE appears in these three tasks and a further variant where task-irrelevant distractors precede the target (prime-probe task), in the absence of learning and memory confounds in samples collected online. They found significant CSEs only in the prime-probe and Simon tasks, suggesting that the effect is more robust in tasks where the distractor can be translated into a response faster than the target. In this Registered Replication Report we collected data online from samples approx. 2.5 times larger than in the original study for each of the four tasks to investigate whether the task-related differences in the magnitude of the CSE are replicable (Nmin = 115, Nmax = 130). Our findings extend but do not contradict the original results: Bayesian analyses suggested that the CSE was present in all four tasks in RT but only in the Simon task in accuracy. The size of the effect did not differ between tasks, and the size of the congruency effect was not correlated with the size of the CSE across participants. These findings suggest it might be premature to conclude that the difference in the speed of distractor- vs target-related response activation is a determinant of the size of cross-trial modulations of control. The practical implications of our results for online data collection in cognitive control research are also discussed.

一致性序列效应（CSE）是指发现在冲突，不一致的试验之后，与在冲突任务（例如Stroop，Simon和侧翼任务）中进行非冲突，一致的试验之后相比，认知冲突的影响较小。这通常被解释为响应冲突而对认知控制的上调。Weissman，Jiang和Egner（2014）调查了CSE是否出现在这三个任务中，以及是否存在其他与在线无关的干扰因素位于目标（原始探针任务）之前的变体，即在在线收集的样本中没有学习和记忆方面的混淆。他们仅在素子探针和Simon任务中发现了重要的CSE，这表明在干扰物可以比目标更快地转化为响应的任务中，效果更强。在此《注册复制报告》中，我们在线收集了大约2个样本的数据。对于四个任务中的每一个，原始研究的2.5倍是原始研究的2.5倍，以调查与任务相关的CSE量级差异是否可复制（Nmin = 115，Nmax = 130）。我们的发现得到了扩展，但与原始结果并不矛盾：贝叶斯分析表明，CSE存在于RT的所有四个任务中，但仅存在于Simon任务中。不同任务之间效果的大小没有差异，并且一致性效果的大小与参与者之间CSE的大小不相关。这些发现表明，得出干扰物与靶标相关反应激活速度的差异是控制交叉试验调节量的决定因素可能为时过早。
