Our newly published study examined whether multiple SOD exists, dependent on the context (e.g., motor, cognitive, and emotional contexts). Using three SOD tasks and two control tasks, we conducted analyses to explore these differences.

Results showed no correlation among SOD domains, suggesting three distinct types, although motor (AIT) and cognitive (VPT) SODs were closer to each other and general cognitive control. Recognized as a transdiagnostic mechanism, SOD is a promising target for interventions, especially given its impairment in psychiatric conditions.

We hope our findings encourage further research into SOD across diverse contexts.
