Post-error adjustments

C Danielmeier, M Ullsperger - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
When our brain detects an error, this process changes how we react on ensuing trials.
People show post-error adaptations, potentially to improve their performance in the near …

Neurophysiological mechanisms of error monitoring in human and non-human primates

Z Fu, A Sajad, SP Errington, JD Schall… - Nature Reviews …, 2023 - nature.com
Performance monitoring is an important executive function that allows us to gain insight into

Testing theories of post-error slowing

G Dutilh, J Vandekerckhove, BU Forstmann… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2012 - Springer
People tend to slow down after they make an error. This phenomenon, generally referred to
as post-error slowing, has been hypothesized to reflect perceptual distraction, time wasted …

Cognitive control

D Badre - Annual Review of Psychology, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Humans and other primates have a remarkable ability to perform a wide range of tasks and
behaviors, even novel ones, in order to achieve their goals. Further, they are able to shift …

Cognitive control as a multivariate optimization problem

H Ritz, X Leng, A Shenhav - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2022 - direct.mit.edu
A hallmark of adaptation in humans and other animals is our ability to control how we think
and behave across different settings. Research has characterized the various forms …

A potential role of the inferior frontal gyrus and anterior insula in cognitive control, brain rhythms, and event-related potentials

M Tops, MAS Boksem - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
In the present paper, we review evidence for of a model in which the inferior frontal

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) enhances conflict-triggered adjustment of cognitive control

R Fischer, C Ventura-Bort, A Hamm… - Cognitive, Affective, & …, 2018 - Springer
Response conflicts play a prominent role in the flexible adaptation of behavior as they

Determinants of congruency sequence effects without learning and memory confounds.

DH Weissman, J Jiang, T Egner - Journal of Experimental …, 2014 - psycnet.apa.org
A common finding in distracter interference (eg, Flanker) tasks is that the difference in mean
reaction time (RT) between incongruent and congruent trials—the congruency effect—is …

V Koob, I Mackenzie, R Ulrich, H Leuthold… - Cognitive …, 2023 - Elsevier
In conflict tasks, such as the Simon, Eriksen flanker, or Stroop task, the congruency effect is
often reduced after an incongruent compared to a congruent trial: the congruency sequence …
