Cognitive control research is concerned with the question how we install adaptive behaviour in the case of (cognitive) conflict. In this review we focus on the role that awareness of this conflict plays in our ability to exert cognitive control. We will argue that visual conflict is not the only building block of metacognitive experiences of conflict and discuss how they are related to cognitive control. So, a first aim of the current review is to understand how these different metacognitive judgements are created. To do so, we draw some remarkable parallels with research on metacognition in decision making and memory research. Next, we elaborate on the relationship between metacognition and adaptive behaviour, with a specific focus on the role of subjective experiences in the Gratton effect. The grey areas that persist in the current literature are highlighted. In addition to deciphering the mechanisms of metacognitive judgements in cognitive control, this overview also aims to further enlarge our understanding of metacognitive abilities at a more general level.

主观经验在冲突任务中的作用：回顾。


认知控制研究关注的是我们如何在（认知）冲突的情况下采取适应性行为的问题。在这篇评论中，我们重点关注这种冲突的意识在我们施加认知控制的能力中所发挥的作用。我们将论证视觉冲突并不是冲突元认知体验的唯一组成部分，并讨论它们与认知控制的关系。因此，当前审查的首要目标是了解这些不同的元认知判断是如何创建的。为此，我们与决策和记忆研究中的元认知研究得出了一些显着的相似之处。接下来，我们详细阐述元认知和适应性行为之间的关系，特别关注主观经验在格拉顿效应中的作用。突出显示了当前文献中持续存在的灰色区域。除了破译认知控制中元认知判断的机制之外，本概述还旨在在更一般的层面上进一步扩大我们对元认知能力的理解。
