The theory of event coding (TEC) is a general framework explaining how perceived and
produced events (stimuli and responses) are cognitively represented and how their …

Research on human and animal behavior has long emphasized its hierarchical structure—
the divisibility of ongoing behavior into discrete tasks, which are comprised of subtask …

Whole-brain neuroimaging studies have demonstrated regional variations in function within
human cingulate cortex. At the same time, regional variations in cingulate anatomical …

We often change our decisions and judgments to conform with normative group behavior.
However, the neural mechanisms of social conformity remain unclear. Here we show, using …

Error-related activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is thought to work in conjunction
with lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) as a part of an action-monitoring network, where errors …

The desire to know what the future holds is a powerful motivator in everyday life, but it is
unknown how this desire is created by neurons in the brain. Here we show that when …

It is generally assumed that slowing after errors is a cognitive control effect reflecting more
careful response strategies after errors. However, clinical data are not compatible with this …

The relationship between aerobic fitness and executive control was assessed in 38 higher-
and lower-fit children (M age= 9.4 years), grouped according to their performance on a field …

The P300 in event-related potentials (ERPs) has been implicated in outcome evaluation and
reward processing, but it is controversial as to what aspects of reward processing it is …

The error‐related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) are increasingly being examined
as neural correlates of response monitoring. The minimum number of error trials included in …
