•Response inhibition and response conflict yield dissociable effects on the N2 and P3.•The N2 is modulated by flanker-induced response conflict but not inhibition.•P3 amplitude displays a frontal shift in topography for response inhibition only.•The specificity of these ERPs may improve understandin...
